What the Fathers say

Deuteronomy 16:20

Western Saints

Jerome

In another place: "You shall follow justly after that which is just," lest we turn from justice, by asserting our own view of truth, recalling the experience of Saul and Agag.

Against the Pelagians 2.3 ↗

Bonaventure

Law slays a man when the minister of the law slays, and this with a just order having been observed, a just cause, and a just intention. It is necessary that there be a just order and a just cause, that is, that one be slain from a just cause, because the law says: "That which is just you shall justly pursue."
