89: li><aht-lit color="darkorange" weight="normal" group1="Titles" item1="2">לְכֹל בָּאֵי שַׁעַר עִירוֹ (all those who come through the city's gates)</aht-lit> – see verses 10 and 18.

David Kimchi</a></multilink> it refers to all the inhabitants of the city (and might be more expansive than the phrase "בְנֵי חֵת").
