Vers. 6. And Elihu the son of Barachell the Buzite answered and said.
When Elihu saw these three men gravelled, and that after all the outcry they made against Job, they were forced to leave him as they found him, unconvinced of those crimes, of that hypocrisy, which they had laid to his charge, he hereupon saw himself engaged to undertake the matter and offer his opinion.

Concerning Elihu, his name, his fathers name, Barachel, his tribe or stock, a Buzite, I have spoken at the 2d verse, and shall not add any thing of it here; only take notice, That here Elihu begins his own preface; The former part of the Chapter contained the report of the divine historian concerning Elihu; but these are the words of Elihu himself; here he begins like an Orator to gain favour with and attention of his hearers, or to prepare the minds of his hearers to receive what he had to say; And upon this subject or piece of Rhetoric (making Prefaces) he spends the whole that remains of this Chapter. And Elihu, &c. answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old (that is it which he said) therefore I was afraid and durst not show mine opinion.
