Schlachter Bibel (1951)
Und Absalom machte sich am Morgen früh auf und stellte sich neben dem Torweg auf; und wenn jemand einen Handel hatte, daß er zum König vor Gericht kommen sollte, rief ihn Absalom zu sich und fragte ihn: „Aus welcher Stadt bist du?" Antwortete er dann: „Dein Knecht ist aus einem der Stämme Israels",

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.
