SCRIPTURE

"And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying," — 2 Chronicles 32:6 (ASV)

The street of the gate ... - Or, “the square at the gate” (compare 2 Chronicles 29:4). The gate intended is probably that of Ephraim (2 Chronicles 25:23)—the great northern gate, opposite the “Camp of the Assyrians”—represented by the modern Damascus gate.
