Footnotes
(a)8:7
Rejected, etc: The government of Israel hitherto had been a theocracy, in which God himself immediately ruled, by laws which he had enacted, and by judges extraordinarily raised up by himself; and therefore he complains that his people rejected him, in desiring a change of government.(Challoner)
(b)8:9
The right: That is, the manner (misphat) after which he shall proceed, having no one to control him, when he has the power in his hand.(Challoner)
