1 Samuel8:11

11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons , and appoint t[illegible: 1+ letters]m for himself, for his charets, and to be his horsmen , and some shall run before his charets.

To wit, In[illegible: 1+ letters]uriously and by Violence, as this Hebrew word is oft used, as Gen. 20. 3. and 27. 36. Iob 5. 5. and so it must be here; because otherwise the King would have no more priviledge than any of his Subjects; for any Man might take a Son with his own or Parents consent.

Or, and for his Horses, for so the Hebrew word Parosh, sometimes signifies, as Isa. 21. 7, 9. and 28. 28. to ride his Horses.

Marginal references: Chap▪ [illegible: 1 word] [illegible: 1 word].; Chap▪ [illegible: 1 word] [illegible: 1 word].
