Verse 2. Goeth, as your leader, according to your request. I am like a private man, ( Calmet.) willing to submit to his and the people’s judgment, ( Bible.) though it could not be required. Menochius.—Grey-headed. This he might be at the age of sixty, which most chronologers allow him, ( Bible.) as he had been at the head of affairs from his early years, in most difficult times.

If they were guilty, they may stand their trial before the king. Calmet.
