I Kings 20:24 Do thou, therefore, this thing: Remove all the kings from thy army, and put captains in their stead:

Stead, who may obey thy orders more implicitly. Rex unius esto. (Calmet) --- Captains, who have been inured to warfare, would not so easily run away. (Menochius) --- Thus, in the late French republic, commanders were chosen from the common ranks, while the nobles were neglected. (Haydock)
