- "Why¹ do the heathenª rage,ª° and the peopleª imagineª° a vain thing?ª ... The kingsª of the earthª set²° themselves,¹ and the rulersª° take counselª° together,ª against¹ the LORD,ª and against¹ his anointed,ª [saying]," {Psa 2:1-2} + "For¹ as long¹¹ as²¹ the sonª of Jesseª liveth²°¹ upon¹ the ground,ª thou¹ shalt not¹ be established,ª° nor thy kingdom.ª Wherefore now¹ sendª° and fetchª°¹ him unto¹ me, for¹ he¹ shall surely die.ªª" {1Sm 20:31} + "Then Saulª saidª° unto his servantsª that stoodª° about¹ him, Hear¹ now,²°¹ ye Benjamites;ª will the sonª of Jesseª giveª° every one¹ of you fieldsª and vineyards,ª [and] makeª° you all¹ captainsª of thousands,ª and captainsª of hundreds;ª ...
