Haydock's commentary
Israel. Hebrew simply, "Now thou wilt make the kingdom of Israel." (Calmet)
Protestants, "Dost thou now govern the?" &c. (Haydock)
Thou art a fit person indeed to establish a kingdom! Ought not a king to take what he has a mind to? Syriac, "Are you fit to reign?" Arabic, "You do not deserve to govern." (Calmet)
Septuagint, "Dost thou now act the king over Israel, in this manner?" (Haydock)
