Chron. 26:30), that David made Hashabiah and his brethren, Hebronites, officers of Israel among them westward, “in all their business of the Lord, and in the service of the king.” Likewise (verse 32) that he made other Hebronites “rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh” (these were the rest of Israel that dwelt beyond Jordan), “for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.” Is not this full power, both “temporal” and “spiritual,” as they call it that would divide it? To conclude; from the first institution of God’s kingdom to the captivity, the supremacy of religion was in the same hand with that of the civil sovereignty; and the priest’s office after the election of Saul, was not magisterial but ministerial.
