Comp. the description of the ordered march of the locusts: “They break not their ranks, neither doth one thrust another.” Joe 2:7-8<\/span>.<\/p>\n Compare Joe 2:7-8<\/span>; the most striking fact in the flight of the locust-swarms was their apparent order and discipline, sweeping over the land like the invasion of a great army.<\/P><\/p>\n Have no king<\/B> to rule and order them. <\/P> By bands; <\/B>in great numbers, and in several companies, and in exact order, as is observed in Scripture, as Jdg 6:5<\/span>; 7:12<\/span>; Joe 1:6<\/span>; 2:7<\/span>, and by other writers. <\/P> <\/p>\n 24-31.<\/B> These verses provide twoclasses of apt illustrations of various aspects of the moral world,which the reader is left to apply. By the first (Pr30:25-28<\/span>), diligence and providence are commended; the success ofthese insignificant animals being due to their instinctive sagacityand activity, rather than strength. The other class (Pro 30:30<\/span>;Pro 30:31<\/span>) provides similes forwhatever is majestic or comely, uniting efficiency with gracefulness.<\/P><\/p>\n The locusts have no king<\/strong>,…. These are small creatures also, yet very devouring ones; and consume the fruits of the earth, wherever they come and light; see Ex 10:13<\/span>; they are very numerous, and move in large bodies, and yet with great regularity and order; which shows the wisdom there is in them by natural instinct, though they have no king to command, guide, and direct them: in this the mystical locusts differ from them, who have a king, whose name is Abaddon, Re 9:11<\/span>;<\/p>\n yet they go forth all of them by bands<\/strong>; the Targum is,<\/p>\n “they are all gathered together as one.”<\/p>\n They get together in one place; they associate and join themselves in bands, and keep together, though they have no ruler over them; an emblem of unity, concord, and harmony, let the form of government be what it will, as the best security to a people: and these creatures, when they move from place to place, they move in a body, in a very regular manner; “in precise order” u, as the words may be rendered, with great exactness, everyone in his proper place, all in rank and file; and though they have no general to marshal them, yet are in, and march in as good order as the most regular army does. So the Arabic version,<\/p>\n “yet in their army, their affairs and manner are in a beautiful disposition;”<\/p>\n indeed they are God’s army, as they are called, Joe 2:25<\/span>; and it is he that gives them their wisdom, instructions, directions, and commission. It is rendered by some, “everyone cutting”; that is, as Kimchi w interprets it, cutting the green grass and trees; or, “every one dividing” x; that is, to himself, the prey or spoils, as kings do; see Isa 33:4<\/span>.<\/p>\n u Vid.

The locusts have no king.<\/strong> ] They are all belly, which is joined to their mouths, and endeth at their tails; hence they make such havoc where they come in those Eastern countries. See Joe 2:11<\/span> , where they are called “God’s great army.” For though they have no king to command them, yet they go forth by bands, and march all in a company, to teach men concord and combination in lawful affairs and attempts. For, <\/p>\n “ Coniuncti pollent etiam vehementer inertes.<\/em> ”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Those locusts in the Revelation (whereby is meant the Popish clergy), have their king Abaddon, the Pope, Rev 9:11 to whom they appeal from their lawful sovereign; yea, the rebellion of a clergyman against his prince is not treason, saith Sa the Jesuit, quia non est principi subiectus,<\/em> because he is the Pope’s subject. And when the English clergy whipped King Henry II for a penance for Becket’s death, one of the Pope’s legates said unto him, Domine, noli minari, &c.:<\/em> Sir, never threaten us, for we fear no menaces of men, as being of such a court as use to command kings and emperors. a<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Jacob.

So will God’s People. Septuagint renders it by keleusmatos = at one word of command. Same word as the assembling shout in 1Th 4:16. Compare 1Co 15:23, “in his own order” or rank. <\/p>\n The locusts: Exo 10:4-6, Exo 10:13-15, Psa 105:34, Joe 1:4, Joe 1:6, Joe 1:7, Joe 2:7-11, Joe 2:25, Rev 9:3-11 <\/p>\n by bands: Heb. gathered together<\/p>\n The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; 27. by bands ] Lit. divided, i.e. not jostling one another like an unorganised rabble, but arranged in well-ordered ranks.
