Job5:4
4. His children ... crushed in the gate--A judicial formula. The gate was the place of judgment and of other public proceedings (Psa 127:5; Pr 22:22; Ge 23:10; De 21:19). Such propylæa have been found in the Assyrian remains. Eliphaz obliquely alludes to the calamity which cut off Job's children.
