About Sur Gate
Gate in Jerusalem linking the king’s palace to the temple. It is mentioned in 2 Kings 11:6 in connection with the enthronement of Jehoash over Judah and the murder of Athaliah. Its parallel passage in 2 Chronicles 23:5 reads the “Gate of the Foundation,” revealing perhaps a corruption within the Hebrew text.
