take_v they_o while_o they_o be_v in_o good_a humour_n and_o say_v come_v let_v we_o go_v up_o to_o gilgal_n and_o there_o renew_v the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o people_n go_v up_o to_o gilgal_n and_o there_o they_o make_v saul_n king_n before_o the_o lord_n 1_o sam._n 11.14_o 15._o which_o methinks_v seem_v to_o infer_v that_o samuel_n think_v the_o people_n approbation_n necessary_a for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o saul_n for_o after_o that_o they_o all_o own_a and_o obey_v he_o which_o they_o do_v not_o before_o and_o although_o this_o be_v a_o pretty_a clear_a proof_n as_o to_o saul_n yet_o those_o that_o i_o shall_v produce_v about_o david_n be_v i_o think_v more_o strong_a and_o pregnant_a for_o although_o david_n be_v by_o god_n almighty_a design_v and_o declare_v king_n during_o saul_n life-time_n and_o at_o saul_n death_n be_v in_o a_o very_a good_a posture_n to_o have_v possess_v himself_o of_o that_o kingdom_n to_o which_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v so_o good_a a_o title_n for_o he_o have_v a_o victorious_a army_n with_o he_o with_o which_o he_o may_v certain_o very_o easy_o have_v vanquish_v the_o small_a remainder_n of_o saul_n baffle_a force_n yet_o he_o do_v nothing_o like_o that_o but_o come_v and_o settle_v himself_o and_o family_n quiet_o at_o hebron_n where_o the_o text_n say_v he_o dwell_v 2_o sam._n 2.3_o but_o how_o long_o he_o be_v there_o before_o the_o man_n of_o judah_n come_v to_o make_v he_o their_o king_n the_o story_n do_v not_o express_v but_o thither_o they_o come_v of_o their_o own_o accord_n it_o be_v to_o be_v suppose_v and_o there_o they_o make_v he_o king_n over_o the_o house_n of_o judah_n 2_o sam._n 2.4_o but_o for_o all_o he_o have_v the_o same_o title_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o israel_n god_n have_v promise_v he_o both_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o any_o dominion_n over_o they_o till_o they_o themselves_o come_v and_o make_v he_o their_o king_n as_o you_o will_v find_v it_o 2_o sam._n 5.3_o and_o 1_o chron._n 11.3_o but_o that_o be_v not_o till_o seven_o year_n and_o a_o half_a after_o he_o be_v king_n of_o judah_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v israel_n take_v a_o fair_a time_n to_o consider_v of_o it_o for_o ishbosheth_n reign_v but_o two_o year_n it_o must_v be_v five_o year_n and_o a_o half_a after_o his_o death_n and_o what_o government_n be_v in_o that_o interregnum_fw-la be_v hard_o to_o say_v because_o the_o scripture_n say_v nothing_o of_o it_o but_o what_o they_o do_v so_o many_o year_n after_o be_v yet_o call_v the_o fulfil_n of_o samuel_n prophecy_n to_o david_n for_o the_o text_n tell_v you_o they_o anoint_v david_n king_n over_o israel_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o samuel_n 1_o chron._n 11.3_o from_o whence_o we_o infer_v that_o when_o god_n almighty_a do_v the_o most_o direct_o and_o immediate_o raise_v a_o single_a person_n or_o family_n the_o people_n be_v his_o instrument_n to_o do_v it_o and_o bring_v it_o about_o as_o be_v i_o think_v very_o apparent_a in_o this_o case_n of_o david_n as_o also_o in_o that_o of_o jeroboam_n for_o although_o the_o prophet_n ahijah_n have_v give_v he_o ten_o piece_n to_o signify_v the_o ten_o tribe_n he_o shall_v reign_v over_o and_o have_v also_o tell_v he_o 1_o king_n 11.37_o i_o will_v take_v thou_o and_o thou_o shall_v reign_v according_a to_o all_o that_o thy_o soul_n desire_v and_o shall_v be_v king_n over_o israel_n yet_o for_o all_o these_o great_a promise_n he_o be_v glad_a to_o run_v for_o it_o and_o play_v least_o in_o sight_n all_o solomon_n day_n so_o that_o he_o have_v no_o advantage_n by_o it_o but_o only_o great_a hope_n till_o the_o people_n fulfil_v that_o which_o be_v but_o prophecy_n before_o 1_o king_n 12.20_o and_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o when_o all_o israel_n hear_v that_o jeroboam_n be_v come_v again_o that_o they_o send_v and_o call_v he_o to_o the_o congregation_n and_o make_v he_o king_n over_o all_o israel_n so_o true_a be_v sometime_o that_o say_n vox_fw-la populi_n est_fw-la vox_fw-la dei._n but_o this_o last_o instance_n do_v afford_v we_o another_o observation_n which_o i_o think_v ought_v not_o to_o be_v pass_v over_o in_o silence_n and_o that_o be_v that_o god_n do_v not_o tie_v himself_o to_o a_o family_n or_o line_n for_o if_o jeroboam_n will_v serve_v god_n as_o david_n do_v he_o will_v build_v he_o as_o sure_o a_o house_n as_o he_o build_v for_o david_n 1_o king_n 11.38_o by_o which_o we_o may_v see_v that_o god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n and_o that_o king_n have_v no_o sure_a tenor_n in_o god_n favour_n than_o other_o people_n for_o his_o promise_n be_v as_o conditional_a to_o they_o as_o to_o the_o mean_a man_n and_o if_o they_o fail_v of_o their_o duty_n god_n may_v and_o oftentimes_o do_v take_v the_o forfeiture_n as_o we_o see_v here_o both_o in_o the_o case_n of_o david_n and_o jeroboam_n but_o when_o and_o how_o far_o those_o forfeiture_n be_v to_o be_v take_v aught_o to_o be_v leave_v to_o that_o almighty_a wisdom_n and_o providence_n that_o turn_v every_o thing_n to_o good_a but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o story_n from_o which_o i_o think_v i_o have_v not_o much_o digress_v as_o to_o the_o matter_n though_o i_o may_v have_v a_o little_a invert_v the_o order_n for_o according_a to_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v treat_v of_o jeroboam_n before_o solomon_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o can_v say_v there_o be_v such_o proof_n of_o the_o people_n set_v up_o solomon_n as_o for_o the_o two_o precede_a king_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o circumstance_n in_o the_o story_n from_o whence_o one_o may_v infer_v something_o of_o that_o kind_n however_o it_o may_v prove_v something_o which_o may_v be_v of_o some_o use_n in_o our_o present_a dispute_n and_o that_o be_v that_o a_o king_n may_v have_v a_o successor_n even_o while_o he_o live_v for_o david_n you_o see_v command_v zadock_n the_o priest_n and_o nathan_n the_o prophet_n to_o anoint_v solomon_n king_n etc._n etc._n that_o as_o david_n say_v in_o the_o follow_a verse_n he_o may_v come_v and_o sit_v upon_o my_o throne_n for_o he_o shall_v be_v king_n in_o my_o stead_n 1_o king_n 1.34_o 35._o now_o the_o occasion_n of_o this_o unusual_a way_n of_o proceed_v i_o suppose_v be_v this_o david_n have_v a_o mind_n that_o solomon_n shall_v succeed_v he_o and_o find_v that_o adonijah_n have_v get_v a_o strong_a party_n think_v the_o best_a way_n to_o secure_v the_o throne_n to_o solomon_n be_v to_o put_v he_o in_o present_a possession_n of_o it_o although_o by_o the_o way_n it_o must_v be_v remark_v that_o adonijah_n be_v the_o elder_a brother_n and_o so_o according_a to_o our_o rule_n of_o succession_n have_v the_o better_a title_n from_o whence_o it_o may_v be_v infer_v that_o that_o rule_n may_v sometime_o be_v invert_v without_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v the_o more_o remarkable_a because_o that_o god_n have_v take_v such_o particular_a care_n of_o the_o right_n of_o the_o first_o bear_v in_o private_a family_n so_o that_o a_o father_n have_v not_o power_n to_o make_v a_o favourite-child_n the_o elder_a nor_o to_o put_v by_o the_o son_n of_o a_o hate_a mother_n from_o that_o double_a portion_n to_o which_o his_o birthright_n entitle_v he_o and_o yet_o the_o very_a first_o time_n that_o succession_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o israel_n can_v be_v pretend_v that_o order_n you_o see_v be_v invert_v and_o solomon_n the_o young_a son_n set_v up_o but_o to_o go_v on_o with_o our_o story_n david_n on_o the_o former_a account_n find_v it_o necessary_a to_o turn_v over_o the_o crown_n to_o solomon_n during_o his_o own_o life_n yet_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o give_v the_o people_n a_o account_n of_o his_o proceed_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o they_o for_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o god_n have_v choose_v judah_n to_o be_v the_o ruler_n and_o of_o the_o house_n of_o judah_n the_o house_n of_o my_o father_n and_o among_o the_o son_n of_o my_o father_n he_o like_v i_o to_o make_v i_o king_n over_o israel_n and_o of_o all_o my_o son_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v i_o many_o son_n he_o have_v choose_v solomon_n my_o son_n to_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o lord_n over_o israel_n 1_o chron._n 28.4_o 5._o and_o after_o that_o david_n have_v give_v instruction_n to_o solomon_n about_o build_v the_o temple_n and_o both_o the_o king_n and_o people_n have_v make_v their_o oblation_n of_o what_o they_o have_v which_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o work_n the_o congregation_n of_o the_o people_n continue_v yet_o together_o it_o be_v say_v chap._n 29._o ver_fw-la 22._o and_o they_o make_v solomon_n the_o son_n of_o david_n king_n the_o second_o time_n and_o anoint_v he_o unto_o the_o lord_n

and_o lay_v it_o up_o before_o the_o lord_n for_o have_v god_n design_v that_o the_o king_n will_n shall_v have_v be_v his_o only_a law_n it_o have_v i_o be_o sure_a be_v a_o very_a superfluous_a if_o not_o a_o impossible_a task_n for_o samuel_n to_o have_v write_v that_o down_o and_o beside_o the_o lay_v it_o up_o before_o the_o lord_n do_v infer_v somethign_n of_o extraordinary_a weight_n and_o sacredness_n in_o that_o book_n that_o be_v to_o be_v place_v in_o that_o holy_a repository_n with_o the_o record_n of_o that_o covenant_n which_o god_n himself_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o make_v with_o his_o people_n now_o upon_o these_o consideration_n i_o think_v i_o may_v safe_o call_v this_o the_o original_a contract_n that_o be_v between_o the_o king_n and_o people_n of_o israel_n but_o we_o may_v guess_v it_o be_v not_o a_o absolute_a arbitrary_a power_n such_o as_o our_o neighbour-prince_n pretend_v to_o over_o his_o subject_n that_o be_v by_o this_o make_v over_o to_o saul_n for_o although_o he_o see_v many_o of_o his_o new_a subject_n do_v despise_v he_o yet_o he_o be_v glad_a to_o hold_v his_o peace_n or_o as_o the_o margin_n say_v he_o be_v as_o though_o he_o have_v be_v deaf_a 1_o sam._n 10.27_o so_o that_o it_o seem_v samuel_n think_v it_o necessary_a the_o people_n shall_v be_v far_o oblige_v than_o at_o present_a they_o think_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o propose_v their_o go_v up_o to_o gilgal_n there_o to_o renew_v the_o kingdom_n 1_o sam._n 11.15_o and_o all_o the_o people_n go_v to_o gilgal_n and_o there_o they_o that_o be_v certain_o the_o people_n make_v saul_n king_n before_o the_o lord_n in_o gilgal_n and_o there_o they_o sacrifice_v sacrifice_n of_o peace-offering_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o the_o join_n in_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o both_o party_n eat_v and_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o sacrifice_n or_o at_o least_o eat_v together_o at_o what_o they_o call_v a_o feast_n be_v both_o the_o most_o usual_a and_o solemn_a way_n of_o make_v covenant_n in_o those_o day_n both_o among_o jew_n and_o gentile_n be_v a_o thing_n so_o well_o know_v that_o i_o need_v not_o insist_v on_o it_o else_o both_o sacred_a and_o profane_a story_n will_v furnish_v we_o with_o proof_n enough_o be_v it_o necessary_a but_o the_o agreement_n which_o i_o suppose_v be_v then_o make_v between_o king_n and_o people_n beget_v such_o a_o mutual_a kindness_n and_o confidence_n in_o one_o another_o that_o the_o text_n add_v there_o saul_n and_o all_o the_o man_n of_o israel_n rejoice_v great_o and_o from_o that_o time_n we_o never_o find_v any_o dispute_n between_o they_o and_o so_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o his_o next_o successor_n david_n and_o the_o proof_n of_o his_o make_v such_o a_o covenant_n with_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n be_v as_o clear_v and_o full_a as_o can_v be_v desire_v upon_o what_o term_n the_o man_n of_o judah_n first_o admit_v he_o be_v not_o so_o plain_o set_v down_o but_o it_o be_v their_o own_o voluntary_a act_n to_o make_v he_o king_n we_o may_v suppose_v that_o they_o will_v take_v care_n to_o see_v their_o own_o interest_n secure_v but_o it_o be_v very_o apparent_a that_o after_o abner_n design_v to_o revolt_v to_o david_n he_o will_v make_v his_o condition_n with_o he_o first_o and_o abner_n send_v messenger_n to_o david_n say_v make_v thy_o league_n with_o i_o and_o behold_v my_o hand_n shall_v be_v with_o thou_o to_o bring_v about_o all_o israel_n to_o thou_o and_o he_o say_v well_o i_o will_v make_v a_o league_n with_o thou_o etc._n etc._n so_o abner_n come_v to_o david_n to_o hebron_n and_o twenty_o man_n with_o he_o and_o david_n make_v abner_n and_o the_o man_n which_o be_v with_o he_o a_o feast_n 2_o sam._n 3.12_o 13_o 20._o at_o which_o i_o suppose_v the_o bargain_n be_v make_v of_o both_o side_n for_o as_o i_o before_o observe_v few_o contract_n be_v conclude_v without_o the_o ceremony_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v together_o and_o after_o that_o abner_n say_v i_o will_v arise_v and_o go_v and_o gather_v all_o israel_n to_o my_o lord_n the_o king_n for_o now_o he_o own_v he_o to_o be_v so_o although_o he_o will_v not_o call_v he_o so_o before_o that_o they_o may_v make_v a_o league_n with_o thou_o and_o that_o thou_o may_v reign_v over_o all_o that_o thy_o heart_n desire_v as_o it_o follow_v in_o verse_n 21._o so_o that_o it_o seem_v the_o king_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o the_o people_n be_v to_o precede_v his_o reign_v over_o they_o although_o david_n have_v be_v both_o choose_v by_o god_n and_o anoint_v by_o samuel_n so_o many_o year_n before_o and_o when_o upon_o abner_n death_n that_o first_o treaty_n with_o the_o man_n of_o israel_n be_v break_v off_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o david_n pretend_v to_o any_o authority_n over_o israel_n till_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n about_o five_o year_n and_o a_o half_a after_o all_z the_o elder_n of_o israel_n come_v to_o the_o king_n to_o hebron_n and_o king_n david_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o they_o in_o hebron_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o they_o anoint_v david_n king_n over_o israel_n 2_o sam._n 5.3_o and_o yet_o as_o i_o say_v before_o if_o ever_o any_o king_n can_v pretend_v to_o be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la it_o must_v be_v david_n but_o for_o all_o that_o he_o be_v content_a to_o come_v to_o the_o crown_n like_o other_o man_n and_o do_v not_o assume_v it_o to_o himself_o till_o give_v he_o by_o the_o people_n there_o be_v another_o thing_n also_o that_o i_o desire_v may_v be_v observe_v which_o be_v that_o the_o phrase_n before_o the_o lord_n both_o in_o this_o place_n and_o 1_o sam._n 11.15_o be_v indifferent_o apply_v both_o to_o king_n and_o people_n for_o here_o it_o be_v say_v the_o king_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o the_o people_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o there_o that_o the_o people_n make_v saul_n king_n before_o the_o lord_n from_o whence_o i_o think_v we_o may_v collect_v that_o be_v mutual_a the_o promise_n be_v as_o oblige_v as_o it_o be_v solemn_a of_o both_o side_n for_o both_o be_v express_v in_o the_o same_o word_n and_o we_o may_v also_o conclude_v that_o when_o we_o meet_v with_o that_o phrase_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o make_v king_n unto_o or_o before_o the_o lord_n as_o it_o be_v 1_o chron._n 29.22_o it_o be_v design_v to_o signify_v the_o mutual_a stipulation_n between_o king_n and_o people_n so_o that_o we_o may_v infer_v that_o solomon_n do_v take_v the_o crown_n upon_o the_o same_o term_n his_o father_n david_n do_v although_o the_o word_n league_n or_o covenant_n be_v not_o express_v and_o if_o the_o three_o first_o king_n do_v thus_o receive_v the_o crown_n from_o and_o oblige_v themselves_o to_o the_o people_n we_o may_v safe_o suppose_v that_o their_o

with_o they_o and_o take_v a_o oath_n of_o they_o in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o the_o 17._o verse_n and_o jehoiada_n make_v a_o covenant_n between_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o king_n

this_o be_v not_o a_o pregnant_a proof_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o have_v say_v that_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n be_v not_o absolute_a but_o be_v under_o obligation_n and_o
