2 Samuele 18:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 18:24

And David sat between the two gates
Of the city of Mahanaim; which being a fortified place had two walls, one within another, and in each wall a gate; and between these David sat, waiting for news of the battle:

and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall;
the gate to the outward wall, over which was a tower, and on that a flat roof; to which the watchman went to observe if he could see an express coming; no doubt by David's orders:

and lifted up his eyes and looked;
that is, very diligently and wistfully:

and, behold, a man running alone:
which made him the more observable, and was the more likely to be a messenger.

2 Samuele 18:24 In-Context

22 E Ahimaas, figliuolo di Sadoc, disse di nuovo a Ioab: Checchè sia, lascia, ti prego, che ancora io corra dietro all’Etiopo. E Ioab gli disse: Perchè vuoi così correre, figliuol mio, poichè non ti si presenta alcuna buona novella a portare?
23 Ed egli disse: Checchè sia, io correrò. E Ioab gli disse: Corri. Ahimaas adunque si mise a correre per la via della pianura, ed avanzò l’Etiopo.
24 Or Davide sedeva fra le due porte; e la guardia ch’era alla veletta salì in sul tetto della porta, in sul muro, ed alzò gli occhi, e riguardò; ed ecco un uomo che correva tutto solo.
25 E la guardia gridò, e lo fece assapere al re. E il re disse: Se egli è solo, egli porta novelle. E colui si andava del continuo accostando.
26 Poi la guardia vide un altro uomo che correva; e gridò al portinaio, e disse: Ecco un altro uomo che corre tutto solo. E il re disse: Anche costui porta novelle.
