To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He Himself had in the past selected men for every emergency, and had thus saved them from their enemies. Their desire for a king arose at the time from want of faith in God, as shown in the impatient manner of its expression. This want of faith, and not the mere desire of a king, was the sin. God could not have countenanced an act in itself necessarily sinful, and yet He chose Saul to be king and commanded Samuel to anoint him as such, as afterwards He also chose David and sent the same prophet... to anoint him. In the history which records these anointings by the command of God, there is precisely the same difficulty as in Deuteronomy. If God would not before arrange for a sinful act neither would He countenance it afterwards. But it is evident that the establishment of the kingdom itself was not the sinful act. The objection of Ewald and others who consider that there is no Divine guidance in the writing of these books is valid. Their argument, perfectly fair and conclusive from their point of view, is that, as no kingdom existed, nor was ( 19 ) thought of till long after the Mosaic period, it would never have entered into the minds of Moses or his contemporaries to make regulations for it, and that such regulations could only have been given after the kingdom was established, therefore that Deuteronomy was written in the time of the kingdom.
