That which they seek is here in general said to be A right way. 1This may be taken literally or metaphorically. According to the letter it implieth a safe and prosperous journey: namely, That the Lord would be pleased so to direct them, as they might not wander out of the way: nor by enemies, or any other means forced to fly this way and that way, but that they might safely come to Jerusalem, which was the end of their journey. In this sense it is said of God, in relation to his people at another time, He led them forth by the RIGHT WAY, that they might go to the city of habitation, Psal. 107. 7. That thus much is here intended, is evident by the reason of this Fast, thus ⟨p. 11⟩set down in the next verse, For I was ashamed to require of the King a band of soldiers, and horsemen, to help us against the enemy in the way.
