Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 1:6

6. Now there was a day , when the Sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them .

i. e. A certain time appointed by God.

i. e. The holy Angels, so called, Iob 38. 7. Dan. 3. 25, 28. because of their Creation by God, as Adam also was, Luk. 3. 38. and for their great resemblance of him in Power, and Dignity, and Holiness, and for their filial affection and Obedience to him.

i. e. Before his Throne, to receive his Commands, and to give him an account of their Negotiations. Compare 1 Kin. 22. 19. Zech. 4. 14. Luk. 1. 19. But you must not think that these things were really done, and that Satan was mixed with the holy Angels, or admitted into the presence of God in Heaven, to maintain such discourses as this with the blessed God, or that he had formal Commission and leave to do what follows; but it is only a parabolical Representation of that great truth, that God by his wise and holy Providence doth govern all the Actions of Men and Devils to his own ends: It being usual with the great God to condescend to our shallow capacities, and to express himself, as the Iews phrase it, In the language of the Sons of Men; i. e. In such manner as men use to speak and may understand.

Being forced to come, and give up his account.
