"The nation, of which he had been the pride, followed his leading. Though he afterward repented, his repentance did not prevent the fruition of the evil he had sown. The discipline and training that God appointed for Israel would cause them, in all their ways of life, to differ from the people of other nations. This peculiarity, which should have been regarded as a special privilege and blessing, was to them unwelcome. The simplicity and self-restraint essential to the highest development they sought to exchange for the pomp and self-indulgence of heathen peoples. To be “like all the nations” ( 1 Samuel 8:5 ) was their ambition. God's plan of education was set aside, His authority disowned. Ed 49.1"
"And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations."
EGW directly quotes 1 Samuel 8:5, indicating an explicit allusion.
"For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up."
Both passages deal with the consequences of sowing evil. Hosea 8:7 uses the metaphor of sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind, while EGW speaks of Solomon sowing evil and reaping the consequences. The connection is thematic, not a direct quote or explicit allusion.
