1 Chronicles 26:16 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

With the gate Shallecheth A gate of the court, so called, as some think, because the ashes and filth of the temple were cast out on that side, which was the most convenient for that purpose, because that was a private quarter, the great ways to the temple lying on the other sides. By the causeway of going up By which causey they went up toward the temple. Ward against ward As one gate was over against another, the west against the east, and the north against the south, so one ward was over against another.
