Philoxenus of Mabbug, on Ps 77:70
Philoxenus of Mabbug · c. A.D. 450–523
Ps 77:70 · Douay-Rheims
“And he chose his servant David, and took him from the hocks of sheep: he brought him from following the ewes great with young,”
On this verse:
“David sheweth in a psalm that he was chosen from a station which taught simplicity, for he was chosen from following the sheep, even as he himself confesseth and calleth to mind his election in one of his psalms, saying, "He chose David His servant, and took him from following a flock of sheep, and from after the ewes that gave suck."”
