2 Samuel 15:2

Et Absalom se levait le matin, et se tenait à côté du chemin qui allait vers la porte; et s'il y avait quelqu'un qui eût quelque affaire, pour laquelle il fallût aller vers le Roi afin de demander justice, Absalom l'appelait, et lui disait : De quelle ville es-tu? et il répondait : Ton serviteur est d'une telle Tribu d'Israël.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Et Absalom se levait de bon matin, et se tenait au bord du chemin de la porte. Et s'il se présentait un homme ayant quelque affaire pour laquelle il venait en justice devant le roi, Absalom l'appelait et lui disait: De quelle ville es-tu? Et s'il répondait: Ton serviteur est de l'une des tribus d'Israël,
Darby's French Translation
Et Absalom se levait de bonne heure, et se tenait à côté du chemin de la porte; et tout homme qui avait une cause qui l'obligeât d'aller vers le roi pour un jugement, Absalom l'appelait, et disait: De quelle ville es-tu? Et il disait: Ton serviteur est de l'une des tribus d'Israël.
Louis Segond (1910)
Il se levait de bon matin, et se tenait au bord du chemin de la porte. Et chaque fois qu'un homme ayant une contestation se rendait vers le roi pour obtenir un jugement, Absalom l'appelait, et disait: De quelle ville es-tu? Lorsqu'il avait répondu: Je suis d'une telle tribu d'Israël,

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.
