1 Crónicas 16:22

Touch not mine anointed - By this title the patriarchs are generally understood: they had a regal and sacerdotal power in the order of God. In the behalf of the patriarchs God had often especially interfered: in behalf of Abraham, Genesis 12:17 ; Genesis 20:3 ; and of Jacob, Genesis 31:24 ; Genesis 34:26 ; Genesis 35:5 . But the title may be applied to all the Jewish people, who were the anointed, as they were the elect and peculiar people of God. See on Hebrews 11:26 ; (note).
