1 Samuel 8:19-22

19But the peopleH5971 refusedH3985 to hearken unto the voiceH6963 of SamuelH8050; and they saidH559, Nay: but we will have a kingH4428 over us, 20that we alsoH1571 may beH1961 like all the nationsH1471, and that our kingH4428 may judgeH8199 us, and goH3318 out before us, and fightH3898 our battlesH4421. 21And SamuelH8050 heardH8085 all the wordsH1697 of the peopleH5971, and he rehearsed them in the earsH241 of Jehovah. 22And Jehovah saidH559 to SamuelH8050, Hearken unto their voiceH6963, and makeH8085 them a kingH4428. And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the menH376 of IsraelH3478, Go ye every manH376 unto his cityH5892.
