John Gill Commentary 1 Chronicles 26:18

"For Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar." — 1 Chronicles 26:18 (ASV)

At Parbar westward A gate at the western wall; the Jewish writers generally interpret it an outward place, but Dr. Lightfoot ^F3 thinks it is the same with Parvar, which signifies suburbs, (2 Kings 23:11), and which agrees with the description Josephus ^F4 gives of one of the western gates, that it led to the suburbs:

four at the causeway; by which was the gate Shallecheth, (1 Chronicles 26:16)

and two at Parbar; the gate before mentioned.
