Job 29:7 When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair?

To the gate. Septuagint, "early." --- Chair, or throne, where Job sat in judgment. (Haydock) --- It appears evident that he was the prince in his city. Idumea had at first several petty kings at the same time, Genesis 36:15. (Calmet) --- But Job had several princes (ver. 9.; Haydock) under him. (Pineda)
