The expression used in the KJV elsewhere translated as “the corner butress” (NAS), “the Angle” (NRSV), “the escarpment” (REB), and “the angle of the wall” (NIV). 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 .
