the horse-gate] It stood east-ward, Jere. 31. 40. it was called the horse-gate, as some think, because the kings horses went in and out that way, 2 Kings 11:16. 2 Chron. 23. 15. Or, as others suppose, either because they might ride no further toward the temple, or because they rid their horses out of that gate to water them in Kidron, and breathe them in the valley of Gehinnom.
