This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said - The Philistine government had constitutional checks - or at least the king was not an absolute sovereign; but his authority was limited - his proceedings liable to be controlled by “the powerful barons of that rude and early period - much as the kings of Europe in the Middle Ages were by the proud and lawless aristocracy which surrounded them” [Chalmers].
