Haydock's commentary
A king. See ver. 1. Moses might also add this with reference to the times, when he knew the Hebrews would petition for a king, for whom he gave particular laws. (Menochius)
These kings were probably foreigners, who subdued the natives. They did not obtain the kingdom by succession. (Calmet)
