On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

"And now," said he, "you have a king, a king of your own asking--let that be spoken to your shame; but a king of God's making--let that be spoken to his honour and the glory of his grace." God did not cast them off, even when they in effect cast him off. He shows them that they are now upon their good behaviour, they and their king.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Ye have chosen - Though God chose him by lot, yet the people are said to chuse him; either generally, because they chose that form of government; or particularly, because they approved of God's choice, and confirmed it.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
