Probably the north-west corner of the city wall. The valley gate.--Syriac, "the west gate." In the western wall, the modern Jaffa gate. These two towers protected the most exposed points of the capital. At the turning of the wall.--Over the angle (ha-miqcoa ?), i.e., on the eastern side of Zion, at a bend in the wall.

For the corner gate, see our note, 2 Chronicles 25:23. Valley gate. This is called by some the Gehenna gate. As many as three sites, reducible perhaps to two, are proposed for this gate:(1) the west gate, called somewhile the "Jaffa" gate; or (2) a gate over the valley of" Hinnom;" or, if it be not the same, (3) that at the valley of Tyropoeon. And at the turning; Hebrew, הַמִקְצוַע. This word occurs eleven times, viz. twice in Exodus, four times in Nehemiah, four times in Ezekiel, and in this place, and is always rendered "corner" or" turning;" the word wanted is angle. The site of this gate cannot very certainly be pronounced upon. Perhaps the angle that marks the gate is that at the south-east corner of the temple plateau. The language of Nehemiah 3:19 is our best clue: "Next to him Ezer repaired... a piece over against the going up to the armoury at the turning."
