Shallecheth'

A gate 'by the causeway of the going up.' 1Ch 26:16. The 'going up' doubtless alluded to a pathway that ascended from the lower part of the city to some entrance of the temple: cf. 1Ki 10:5. Such a causeway can still be traced, but it is hidden, under the houses built in the valley.

Shal'lecheth

(overthrow), The gate, one of the gates of the "house of Jehovah."

1Ch 26:16

It was the gate "to the causeway of the ascent." As the causeway is actually in existence, the gate Shallecheth can hardly fail to be identical with the Bab Silsileh or Sinsleh which enters the west wall of the Haram about 600 feet from the southwest corner of the Haram wall.
