Now David was sitting between the two gates, and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate over the city wall and lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man running alone — The watchman observes a solitary runner approaching. David is stationed between the gates, awaiting news from the battlefield. The position between the gates suggests a place of judgment and authority, yet David is reduced to waiting and watching.
