[18]And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
[19]And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now, therefore, present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your thousands.
It is good to be conscious of our unworthiness and insufficiency for the services to which we are called, but men should not go into the contrary extreme by refusing the employments to which the Lord and the church call them.

The greater part of the people treated the matter with indifference.
If the heart bends at any time the right way, it is because He has touched it. One-touch is enough when it is Divine.
Others despised him. Thus differently are men affected to our exalted Redeemer. There is a remnant who submit to him and follow him wherever he goes; they are those whose hearts God has touched, whom he has made willing.
But there are others who despise him, who ask, How shall this man save us? They are offended by him, and they will be punished.
Thou will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee, Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Yeshua is everlasting strength. (Isaiah 26:3-4)
