1 Samuel 8:5 KJV

King James Version of

1 Samuel 8:5

commentary

But let us return to the Chief Hogs. In the first book of Samuel, in the 8th chapter, beginning at the fifth verse, we read how the swine of Israel prayed for a king; how the prophet Samuel warned them of the consequence; how he told them a king would appoint their sons for his charios and his footmen; to ear his corn, to till his ground, to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of chariots; how he would take their daughters for cooks, and confectioners, and bakers; how he would seize their fields, and their vineyards, and their olive-yards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants and his officers; how he would take their men-servants, their maid-servants, and their goodliest young men, and their asses, and put them to his work; how we would take the tenth of their seed, and their sheep, and their vineyards, and they would ALL be his servants; how they would cry out in the day of trouble because of the king they had chosen, and the Lord would not hear them on that day : nevertheless, the HOGS of Israel persisted in their prayer, and said, Nay, but we will have a king over us; and, behold, all that the prophet foretold, literally came to pass.

Hudson Bay (Wikipedia) Hudson Bay, sometimes called Hudson’s Bay (usually historically), is a large body of saltwater in northeastern Canada with a surface area of 1,230,000 km2 (470,000 sq mi). It is located north of Ontario, west of Quebec, northeast of Manitoba, and southeast of Nunavut, but politically entirely part of Nunavut. It is an inland marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean. The Hudson Strait provides a connection between the Labrador Sea and the Atlantic Ocean in the northeast, while the Foxe Channel connects the Hudson Bay with the Arctic Ocean in the north. It drains a very large area, about 3,861,400 km2 (1,490,900 sq mi), that includes parts of southeastern Nunavut, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, all of Manitoba, and parts of the U.S. states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana. Hudson Bay’s southern arm is called James Bay.
