[38]
While he was thus disposed, God appeared to him, and comforted him,
saying, That he ought not to be uneasy at what the multitude desired, because
it was not he, but Himself whom they so insolently despised, and would
not have to be alone their king; that they had been contriving these things
from the very day that they came out of Egypt; that however. in no long
time they would sorely repent of what they did, which repentance yet could
not undo what was thus done for futurity; that they would be sufficiently
rebuked for their contempt, and the ungrateful conduct they have used towards
me, and towards thy prophetic office. "So I command thee to ordain
them such a one as I shall name beforehand to be their king, when thou
hast first described what mischiefs kingly government will bring upon them,
and openly testified before them into what a great change of affairs they
are hasting."
Flavius Josephus. The Works of Flavius Josephus. Translated by. William Whiston, A.M. Auburn and Buffalo. John E. Beardsley. 1895.
