     * Is it.
       In northern latitudes, thunder and rain are far from being
       un-common during harvest.  But rain is hardly ever known in
       Palestine during that season, which commences about the end of
       June, or beginning of July.  This fact is abundantly confirmed
       by modern travellers, and is demonstrative to every
       unprejudiced reader of the Holy Scriptures, that the thunder
       and rain, which at Samuel's invocation, was sent at this
       season of the year, was a miraculous interposition of the
       power of God; for we read in ver. 16, it was a "great thing
       which the Lord will do."  Thus were the Israelites warned of
       their sin in having asked a king, and of the omnipotence of
       that God, whose gracious promises they virtually neglected by
       this act.
