Sur identifies one of the gates in or around Solomon's temple, mentioned during the coup that installed young Joash as king and eliminated Queen Athaliah. The parallel account in Chronicles calls it the 'Foundation Gate,' and some scholars suggest the verse may be a marginal gloss that crept into the text. The gate's location and purpose remain uncertain—it may have been a guardpost or defensive position. The name might relate to the verb 'to turn aside,' suggesting a side entrance or a gate where one changes direction.
