Psalms 80:13 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. The boar out of the wood - Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who was a fierce and cruel sovereign. The allusion is plain. The wild hops and buffaloes make sad havoc in the fields of the Hindoos, and in their orchards: to keep them out, men are placed at night on covered stages in the fields.
