gates when the
watchman went up to the roof of the
gateway by the wall, looked out, and saw a man running alone.
And the
watchman saw another man running: and the
watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth
tidings.

watchman saw another man running, and he called out to the
gatekeeper, “Look! Another man is running alone!” “This one also brings good news,” said the king.
And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the
gate, and
wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son
Absalom, my son, my son
Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O
Absalom, my son, my son!
The king was
shaken and went up to the
gate chamber and
wept. And as he walked, he
cried out, “O my son
Absalom! My son, my son
Absalom! If only I had died instead of you, O
Absalom, my son, my son!”

gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king
doth sit in the
gate. And all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent.

And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of
Bethlehem, which is by the
gate!

gate of
Bethlehem!”

In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build
Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in
Abiram his
firstborn, and set up the
gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of
Nun.
In
Ahab’s days, Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt
Jericho. At the cost of
Abiram his
firstborn he laid its foundation, and at the cost of Segub his youngest he set up its

Nun.
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the
gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said,

Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the
gate of Samaria; and all the prophets
prophesied before them.

attire, the king of Israel and

Then
Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To
morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a
shekel, and two measures of barley for a
shekel, in the
gate of Samaria.
Then
Elisha said, “Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the LORD says: ‘About this time
tomorrow at the
gate of Samaria, a
seah of fine flour will sell for a
shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a
shekel.’”
And there were four
leprous men at the entering in of the
gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?

leprosy at the entrance of the city
gate, and they said to one another, “Why just sit here until we die?
So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses
tied, and
asses tied, and the tents as they were.
So they went and called out to the
gatekeepers of the city, saying, “We went to the
Aramean camp and no one was there—not a trace—only
tethered horses and
donkeys, and the tents were
intact.”
And he called the
porters; and they told it to the king’s house within.
The
gatekeepers shouted the news, and it was reported to the king’s household.
And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he
leaned to have the charge of the
gate: and the people
trode upon him in the
gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.
Now the king had appointed the officer on whose arm he
leaned to be in charge of the
gate, but the people
trampled him in the
gateway, and he died, just as the man of God had
foretold when the king had come to him.
