Priest of Midian] The Hebrew word Coben, signifieth a Priest, and sometimes a Prince, or chiefe Ruler, as 2 Samuel 8:18. Text and Margine: and it may be he was both, because the principall men in those dayes were Priests; as Noah, Melchisedec, Abraham, and others. Eusebius lib. 9. cap. ult. de praeparat: Evangel: calls him Jethro, King of Arabia, of whose Kingdome Midian was a Province: but he seemeth here, rather to be a Priest, then a Prince: because his daughters are so meanely imployed, so little respected by the Shepheards, verse 17. His name is Hobab, Judg. 4. 11. who was the sonne of Raguel, (the Midianite) Numbers 10:29. elsewhere he is called Jethro, Exodus 3:1. &Chap. 18. many times. to water their fathers flock] In those dayes the calling and course of a shepheard was no disparagement to worthy porsons: though it were not so honourable, as that Kings daughters should be employed in such a service, as here is mentioned. See Annot. on Gen. 24. verse 15.
