Gill's Notes on the Bible
And all the elders and all the people said unto him,.... They were unanimous in their advice:
hearken not [unto him], nor consent; promising, no doubt, that they would stand by him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
“The people” had no distinct place in the ordinary Jewish or Israelite constitution; but they were accustomed to signify their approbation or disapprobation of the decisions of the elders by acclamations or complaints (Joshua 9:18; Judges 11:11, etc.).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 20:8. Hearken not unto him — The elders had every thing at stake, and they chose rather to make a desperate defense than tamely to yield to such degrading and ruinous conditions.
