Commentary on Deuteronomy 11:131 voice
And it shall come to pass, if you shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day,.... In the name, and by the authority of the Lord, the only lawgiver: to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul; see Deu 10:12.

Commentary on 1 Samuel 12:16–191 voice

I shoot an arrow; I hurl a javelin; and your prayers are the shield of the people. Let me alone that I might strike down this people.
