).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
A
gate
“by
the
causeway
of the going up” (
1 Chron. 26:16
16
To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward. (1 Chronicles 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
(compare
1 Kings 10:5
5
And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the Lord; there was no more spirit in her. (1 Kings 10:5)
). Such a causeway
can
still be traced, but it is hidden, under the houses built in the
valley
.
