Matthew Poole and continuators on Deuteronomy 17:12

12 And the man that will do presumptuously , and will not hearken unto the priest (that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God) or unto the judge, even that man shall die, and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.

(i. e.) That will proudly and obstinately oppose the sentence given against him. This is opposite to ignorance and errour, Exod. 21. 13, 14.

Either 1. The evil thing, that scandal, that pernicious example. Or, 2. That evil, refractary, pernicious person, whose practise herein tends to the dissolution of all Government, and the ruine of the Commonwealth of Israel.

Marginal references: Hos. 4. 4.; Heb. not to hearken.
