chief judge; whoever he might be; to whom he was a subordinate。 (6) This 

chief   judge   would   either   be   Joshua;   the   supreme   captain   of   the   whole 

people;     or  one   of  the   tribal  chiefs   who    had   been    entrusted;    after  the 

division     of   the   tribes;  with    the   right   of  consulting     the   high    priest 

concerning       the  affairs   of  his   tribe;  of  deciding     on   peace    or  war;   of 

fortifying towns; of appointing inferior judges; &c。 (7) Or; again; it might 

be the king; in whom all or some of the tribes had vested their rights。(8) I 

could   cite   many  instances   in   confirmation   of   what   I   here   advance。   (9)   I

will confine myself to one; which appears to me the most important of all。 

(10)   When   the   Shilomitish   prophet   anointed   Jeroboam   king;   he;   in   so 

doing;   gave   him   the   right   of   consulting   the   high   priest;   of   appointing 

judges; &c。 (11) In fact he endowed him with all the rights over the ten 

tribes; which   Rehoboam  retained   over the   two tribes。  (12)   Consequently 

Jeroboam could set up a supreme council in his court with as much right 

as Jehoshaphat could at Jerusalem (2 Chron。 xix:8)。 (13) For it is plain that 

neither     Jeroboam;      who    was    king   by   God's    command;       nor    Jeroboam's 

subjects;   were   bound   by   the   Law   of   Moses   to   accept   the   judgments   of 

Rehoboam;   who   was   not   their   king。   (14)   Still   less   were   they   under   the 

jurisdiction   of   the   judge;   whom   Rehoboam   had   set   up   in   Jerusalem   as 

subordinate to himself。 (15) According; therefore; as the Hebrew dominion 

was divided; so was a supreme council setup in each division。 (16) Those 

who neglect   the  variations   in   the  constitution   of   the   Hebrew  States;   and 

confuse them all together in one; fall into numerous difficulties。 

     Chapter       XIX。 'Endnote 33'。 (1) I must here bespeak special attention 

for what was said in Chap。 XVI。 concerning rights。
