Zephaniah 1:10. and so he mentioneth the whole circuit of Jerusalem: Benjamins gate was on the North-east side: from thence going to the corner gate, which was on the North-west side, they went along by the fish-gate: and from Hananiels tower, which was on the same side as Benjamins gate, they went the other compasse, from the South, to the Kings wine-presses, which were on the West side, where these two halfe circles did meet to make up a whole circle or compasse.
unto the corner-gate] See 2 Chronicles 26:9. perhaps there was some tower there to make the corners.
