Genesi 41:38

And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find [such a one] as this [is], a man in whom the Spirit of God [is]?

Ver. 38. And Pharaoh said unto his servants.] He would resolve nothing without the advice of his Council. He was not like the Persian monarchs, who gave their peers no freedom nor liberty of advice; a nor that wilful King James of Scotland, that reigned in our Edward IV's time, that would seldom ask counsel, but never follow any: so wedded he was to his own opinion, saith the historian, that he could not endure any man's advice, how good soever, that he fancied not. b Pharaoh heard what his servants could say to it; who all at length consented when the ill-affected saw it was no profit to dissent.

Can we find such a man as this?] Hence some collect that Joseph preached many more things to the king, of God, his power, providence, goodness, &c., than are here recorded; and was therefore so admired, and advanced to the office of teaching his senators wisdom. "To bind his princes to his soul, and make wise his elders," Psa 105:22 as the original hath it.
