Once again, God's promises are coming true. Remember when the people of Israel wanted a king? Samuel promised higher taxes, kings who made alliances with other people to the detriment of their own people, conscription of labor, and royalty living in opulent luxury. Now we see it. Solomon is even drafting the people in droves to force them into his own service. Look at the proliferation of bureaucracy! Leaders of leaders who then lead other people!
May the Lord deliver us from the kind of madness that goes against God's stated will. May we ever heed his warning and fulfill his desire.
