Exegesis
The subsequent vav-consecutive verb vaya‘amod {וַיַּעֲמֹד | va-ya-a-mod} ‘and he stood’ repeats the subject hamelekh {הַמֶּלֶךְ | ha-me-lekh}, emphasizing his action, followed by the locative phrase etsel hasha‘ar {אֵצֶל־הַשַּׁעַר | et-sel ha-sha-ar} to establish position.
In context — 2 Samuel 18:4
And the king said, “Whatever seems good in your eyes, I will do.” And the king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.
