La Riveduta Bibbia

2 Samuele 15:2

Absalom si levava la mattina presto, e si metteva da un lato della via che menava alle porte della città; e quando qualcuno, avendo un processo, si recava dal re per chieder giustizia, Absalom lo chiamava, e gli diceva: "Di qual città sei tu?" L’altro gli rispondeva: "Il tuo servo è di tale e tale tribù d’Israele".

La Nuova Diodati
Absalom si alzava al mattino presto e si metteva a lato della via che portava alla porta della citt. Cos, se qualcuno aveva una causa e andava dal re per ottenere giustizia, Absalom lo chiamava e gli diceva: "Di quale citt sei?". Laltro gli rispondeva: "Il tuo servo di tale e tale trib dIsraele".
Giovanni Diodati Bibbia
Ed egli si levava la mattina, e si fermava allato alla via della porta; e se vi era alcuno che avesse qualche piato, per lo quale gli convenisse venire al re per giudicio, Absalom lo chiamava, e gli diceva: Di qual città sei tu? E colui gli rispondeva: Il tuo servitore è di tale e tale tribù d’Israele.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Absalom rose up early,.... Every morning, to show how diligent and industrious he should be, and closely apply himself to business, was he in any office trader the king, and especially when he should be king himself; this he did to ingratiate himself into the affections of the people:

and stood beside the way of the gate; either of the king's palace, so Josephus d, or of the city, where courts of judicature are held: the former seems most probable by what follows:

and it was [so], that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment; that had a controversy with another man on any account, and came to the king to have it decided according to law, or the rules of justice and equity:

then Absalom called unto him, and said, of what city [art] thou? which question he asked, only to lead on to some further discourse:

and he said, thy servant [is] of one of the tribes; that is, of one of the cities of the tribes of Israel, and not of a city of another nation.

d Antiqu. l. 7. c. 9. sect. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Beside the way of the gate - See Ruth 4:1 note.
