1Samuel 8:3

Early Christian Commentary - (A.D. 100 - A.D. 325)

Anf-02 vi.iv.i.xix Pg 21.1


Anf-01 ix.vi.xxxi Pg 4
Ex. i. 13, 14.

And with immense labour they built for them fenced cities, increasing the substance of these men throughout a long course of years, and by means of every species of slavery; while these [masters] were not only ungrateful towards them, but had in contemplation their utter annihilation. In what way, then, did [the Israelites] act unjustly, if out of many things they took a few, they who might have possessed much property had they not served them, and might have gone forth wealthy, while, in fact, by receiving only a very insignificant recompense for their heavy servitude, they went away poor? It is just as if any free man, being forcibly carried away by another, and serving him for many years, and increasing his substance, should be thought, when he ultimately obtains some support, to possess some small portion of his [master’s] property, but should in reality depart, having obtained only a little as the result of his own great labours, and out of vast possessions which have been acquired, and this should be made by any one a subject of accusation against him, as if he had not acted properly.4216

4216 This perplexed sentence is pointed by Harvey interrogatively, but we prefer the above.

He (the accuser) will rather appear as an unjust judge against him who had been forcibly carried away into slavery. Of this kind, then, are these men also, who charge the people with blame, because they appropriated a few things out of many, but who bring no charge against those who did not render them the recompense due to their fathers’ services; nay, but even reducing them to the most irksome slavery, obtained the highest profit from them. And [these objectors] allege that [the Israelites] acted dishonestly, because, forsooth, they took away for the recompense of their labours, as I have observed, unstamped gold and silver in a few vessels; while they say that they themselves (for let truth be spoken, although to some it may seem ridiculous) do act honestly, when they carry away in their girdles from the labours of others, coined gold, and silver, and brass, with Cæsar’s inscription and image upon it.

Ex. ii. 14.

On account of envy, Aaron and Miriam had to make their abode without the camp.22

Anf-01 viii.ii.xxxvii Pg 4
Isa. i. 14, Isa. lviii. 6.

What kind of things are taught through the prophets from [the person of] God, you can now perceive.


Anf-01 v.vi.viii Pg 8
Comp. Isa. lviii. 6.

I therefore exhort you that ye do nothing out of strife,951

Anf-01 ix.vi.xviii Pg 20
Isa. lviii. 6, etc.

And Zechariah also, among the twelve prophets, pointing out to the people the will of God, says: “These things does the Lord Omnipotent declare: Execute true judgment, and show mercy and compassion each one to his brother. And oppress not the widow, and the orphan, and the proselyte, and the poor; and let none imagine evil against your brother in his heart.”4024

Anf-01 vi.ii.iii Pg 4
Isa. lviii. 6–10.

To this end, therefore, brethren, He is long-suffering, foreseeing how the people whom He has prepared shall with guilelessness believe in His Beloved. For He revealed all these things to us beforehand, that we should not rush forward as rash acceptors of their laws.1467

1467 The Greek is here unintelligible: the Latin has, “that we should not rush on, as if proselytes to their law.”

dismiss the unjust sentence,2929

2929 A lax quotation, perhaps, of the next clause in the same verse:  “Break every yoke.”

“deal their bread to the hungry; bring the outcast into their house; cover the naked, when they see him; nor hide themselves from their own flesh and kin:”2930

when he said, “If I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.”4969

Anf-03 iv.iv.v Pg 10
[The argument amounts to this, that symbols were not idols:  yet even so, God only could ordain symbols that were innocent. The Nehushtan of King Hezekiah teaches us the “peril of Idolatry” (2 Kings xviii. 4) and that even a divine symbol may be destroyed justly if it be turned to a violation of the Second Commandment.]

which was to free us from serpents—that is, from the devil’s angels—while, through itself, it hanged up the devil slain; or whatever other exposition of that figure has been revealed to worthier men193

193 [On which see Dr. Smith, Dict. of the Bible, ad vocemSerpent.”]

no matter, provided we remember the apostle affirms that all things happened at that time to the People194

194 i.e., the Jewish people, who are generally meant by the expression “the People” in the singular number in Scripture. We shall endeavour to mark that distinction by writing the word, as here, with a capital.
