1 Samuele 30:25

And it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.

Ver. 25. That he made it a statute,] i.e., He revived and ratified it as most reasonable. The truth is, that all God's laws are grounded upon so much good reason, that though he had never made them, yet it had been our wisest way to have lived according to them; since his will is not only recta but regula, the very rule of right.
