  Bible Query from 1 Chronicles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)

David apparently thought 100 chariots was not too many, but this set the stage for Solomon to have many chariots and horses, as 2 Chronicles 9:28 and 1 Kings 10:26-29 show.

 Legal Obligation and Authority
David Hume could conceive no reason at all: promise-keeping is an “artificial virtue” serving the public good, just like obedience to law.
On such views we are bound to obey because that is an appropriate expression of emotions we have good reason to feel: gratitude to the law for all that it gives us, respect for its good-faith efforts to guide us, or a sense of belonging to the community.
It is important to see that this does not amount to endorsing a policy of “pick and choose.” It is consistent with a mixed policy: there may be areas and issues with respect to which one should accept an obligation of obedience and others where one should apportion one's compliance to the merits.
