5 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “gate” →
Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.
And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
