1 Chronicles 26:18

Ver. 18. At Parbar westward,.... A gate at the western wall; the Jewish writers generally interpret it an outward place, but Dr. Lightfoot {c} thinks it is the same with Parvar, which signifies suburbs, 2Ki 23:11, and which agrees with the description Josephus {d} gives of one of the western gates, that it led to the suburbs:

four at the causeway; by which was the gate Shallecheth, 1Ch 26:16

and two at Parbar; the gate before mentioned.

{c} Ib. (Prospect of the Temple, ch. 5.) sect. 2. {d} Ut supra. (Antiqu. l. 15. c. 11. sect. 5.)
