Excerpt from The Women of Israel, Vol. 2WE are now come to an important change in the history of Israel the first step to her downfall, and the first opening for the fearful ¿ood of misery and crime which nationally and individually deluged J udea. We allude to the election of an earthly king, and the establishment of a temporal monarchy. In vain the prophet Samuel reasoned and implored, beseeching them to rest contented with the government already established, and in the deepest humility of spirit prayed unto the Lord. Hearken unto the voice of the people, in all that they say unto thee, was the gracious answer, for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. Awful words, and most awfully fulfilled! 'lhe infinite mercy of Israel's God would not reject His people, though they had rejected Him, but in the very gratification Of thei1 desire to have a king they received their chastisement, a chastisement not of a year's or a century's continuance, but lasting through ages and ages of crime, misery, expulsion, persecution, and working against unhappy Israel even at this present day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
