אֶֽבֲחַ֣ר דַּרְכָּם֮ וְאֵשֵׁ֪ב רֹ֥אשׁ וְ֭אֶשְׁכּוֹן כְּמֶ֣לֶךְ בַּגְּד֑וּד כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲבֵלִ֣ים יְנַחֵֽם׃
I chose out their way, and sat as chief, And dwelt as a king in the army, As one that comforteth the mourners.
Rashi on Job
I would choose their way All their ways and their counsel I would choose for them, for they would ask me, “Which way shall we go and what shall we do?”
Rashi on Job
and sit at the head if they were reclining at a banquet, I would recline at the head of the diners.
