Yet I conceive in this place, we may rather expound Job speaking of God after the manner of Magistrates among men, who appoint certain places where to sit in Judgement, where to hear Causes, whither all that are wronged and oppressed resort for relief and right. (1 Sam. 7.17.) Samuel was the Chief Magistrate, The Judge in Israel: Now the text saith at the 16th verse, that he went from year to year in Circuit (as we have the Judges of the Circuit) to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and ⟨p. 317⟩Judged Israel in all those places, and returned to Ramah, for there was his house, and there he Judged Israel; As if he had said, his standing house was at Ramoth and thither all causes were brought and all persons grieved resorted for Justice in their several cases. He rid Circuit every year, that all the people might the more easily find him; yet he had a fixed seat. In allusion to this practice Job appealing from his friends to God saith, O that I knew where I might find him, and go to him for Judgement; O that I might have Audience before him in this great business.
