He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
Princes - rather, priests, as the Hebrew is rendered, Psalms 99:6 (Umbreit). Even the sacred ministers of religion are not exempt from reverses and captivity. [The idea of koheen (H3548) is that of a mediating priest.] But in Job's days patriarch princes exercised this office. So that the English version is probably right. So David's sons (who certainly were not mediating priests) are called by this very Hebrew term, Kohaniym (H3548) (2 Samuel 8:18), 'chief rulers.'
The mighty - `the firm-rooted in power:' the Arabic root expresses overflowing water (Umbreit).
