One segment of the Jerusalem ramparts probably located near the palace. It was fortified by Uzziah (2 Chronicles 26:9 ) and rebuilt by Nehemiah (Nehemiah 3:19-20 ,Nehemiah 3:19-20,3:24 ). Not to be confused with “the corner” (Nehemiah 3:31 ) nor associated with the corner gate. See Corner, Upper Chamber of; Corner Gate .
