Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Chronicles 26:16

_ _ the gate Shallecheth — probably the rubbish gate, through which all the accumulated filth and sweepings of the temple and its courts were poured out.

_ _ by the causeway of the going up — probably the ascending road which was cast up or raised from the deep valley between Mount Zion and Moriah, for the royal egress to the place of worship (2 Chronicles 9:4).

_ _ ward against ward — Some refer these words to Shuppim and Hosah, whose duty it was to watch both the western gate and the gate Shallecheth, which was opposite, while others take it as a general statement applicable to all the guards, and intended to intimate that they were posted at regular distances from each other, or that they all mounted and relieved guard at the same time in uniform order.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Chronicles 26:1-19.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Chronicles 26:16

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. Going up — By which causeway they went up towards 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.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

To Shuppim and Hosah [the lot came forth] westward, with the gate (h) Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.
