[some Shalle'cheth] (Heb. Shalle'keth, שִׁלֶּכֶת , overthrow; Sept. παστοφόριον ), the name of a gate on the west of Solomon's temple, which fell to the lot of the porters Shuppim and Hosah (1 Chronicles probably was that called Kipponos (Coponius) in the Talmud (Middoth, 1, 3). It is probably also identical with the gate Sur (2 Kings 11:6) or that of the "Foundation" (2 Chronicles 23:5). If, however, the causeway be the same as that by which the water is now conveyed to the Haram, the gate in question may have been at the present Bab Silsileh, much farther north. (See TEMPLE).
