favour] It is in Gods power to give his people favour in the eyes of enemies: therefore, when we are to seeke, or sue to any by petition, or otherwise, it is good first to present our request unto God, to make us gracious in the eyes of men. See Nehem. 2. 4, 5. Genesis 33:4. Proverbs 16:7. Exodus 3:21. &Exodus 11:3. spoiled the Egyptians] It is just with God that his people spoile those, who spoiled them; Ezekiel 39:10. and just with men, (having Gods expresse warrant for it) as the Israelites had in this case.
