Shalleketh designates one of the temple gates on the western side, mentioned in the Chronicler's account of Levitical divisions. The name likely derives from the root 'to cast' or 'throw,' possibly indicating this was a gate through which refuse was cast out, though some scholars question this etymology. It appears in organizational lists detailing which Levitical families guarded which entrances, situating it alongside the Parbar and other architectural features of Solomon's temple complex.
