'Front' in the Bible

Mordecai walked every day in front of the court of the women's house, to find out how Esther did, and what would become of her.

Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he even assault the queen in front of me in the house?" As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
