On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

): He shall swear (shall lift up the hand, the ancient ceremony used in taking the oath) I will not be a healer; make not me a ruler. Note, Rulers must be healers, and good rulers will be so; they must study to unite their subjects, and not to widen the differences that are among them. Those only are fit for government that are of a meek, quiet, healing, spirit.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

swear--literally, "lift up," namely, his hand; the gesture used in solemn attestation. Or, his voice, that is, answer; so Vulgate. healer--of the body politic, incurably diseased (Isa 1:6). neither . . . clothing--so as to relieve the people and maintain a ruler's dignity.
