Others suppose that it was done emblematically, to represent the contrition of their hearts, and their desire to wash away their past offences. But some learned men conceive that it was poured out as a libation, in token of joy, after they had fasted and confessed their sin, as they were wont to do in the feast of tabernacles. - See note on Numbers 29:35. 1 Samuel 1:15; 2 Samuel 14:14; Job 16:20; Psalm 6:6, 42:3, 119:136; Jeremiah 9:1; Lamentations 2:11, 2:18, 3:49 fasted2 Chronicles 20:3; Ezra 8:21-23; Nehemiah 9:1-3; Daniel 9:3-5; Joel 2:12; Jonah 3:1-10 We have sinnedLeviticus 26:40; Judges 10:10; 1 Kings 8:47; Ezra 9:5-10; Job 33:27, 40:4, 42:6; Psalm 38:3-8, 106:6; Jeremiah 3:13, 3:14, 31:19; Luke 15:18 judgedJudges 3:10; Nehemiah 9:27; Ezekiel 20:4ReciprocalJoshua 15:38 - Mizpeh; Judges 2:4 - the people; 20:1 - in Mizpeh; 20:26 - wept; 1 Samuel 7:15 - judged; 10:17 - unto the Lord; 2 Samuel 23:16 - poured it; 1 Chronicles 11:18 - poured; 2 Chronicles 16:6 - Mizpah; Jeremiah 40:6 - Mizpah; Lamentations 2:19 - pour Verse 7afraid1 Samuel 13:6, 17:11; Exodus 14:10; 2 Chronicles 20:3Reciprocal1 Samuel 28:1 - that the Verse 8Ceaseetc. Heb.

but little content with this form of government, they desire to have a king like other nations, who should live in magnificence and pomp, keep armies, and be able to resist any invasion. Samuel informs them what it was they desired; that, when they understood it, they might consider whether they would persist in their choice. If they would have a king splendidly attended, he tells them that he would take their sons for his chariots, etc.: if they would have him keep up constant forces, then he would appoint them for colonels and captains, and employ those in his wars who were accustomed to follow their family business; and since, after the manner of other kings, he must keep a stately court, they must be content that their daughters should serve in several offices, which the king would think below the dignity of his wives and daughters - 1 Samuel 8:13. In one word, that, to sustain his dignity, their king would exact the tenth of all they possessed, and be maintained in a royal manner out of their estates."will not hearJob 27:9; Psalm 18:41; Proverbs 1:25-28, 21:13; Isaiah 1:15; Micah 3:4; Luke 13:25Reciprocal1 Kings 12:11 - I will add; 2 Chronicles 10:11 - I will put Verse 19refused to obeyPsalm 81:11; Jeremiah 7:13, 44:16; Ezekiel 33:31ReciprocalDeuteronomy 17:14 - I will set; 1 Samuel 8:5 - now make; 9:20 - on whom; 10:1 - captain; 10:19 - And ye have; 11:15 - rejoiced greatly; 12:1 - Behold; 12:12 - Nay; Hosea 13:10 - thy judges; Habakkuk 3:1 - Obey Verse 201 Samuel 8:5; Exodus 33:16; Leviticus 20:24-26; Numbers 23:9; Deuteronomy 7:6; Psalm 106:35; John 15:19; Romans 12:12; 2 Corinthians 6:17; Philippians 3:20; 1 Peter 2:9ReciprocalNumbers 27:17 - go out; Deuteronomy 17:14 - I will set; 1 Samuel 12:2 - walketh; 12:12 - Nay; Hosea 13:10 - thy judges Verse 21he rehearsedJudges 11:11
