1 Samuel 8:19-22

19Nevertheless, the peopleH5971 refusedH3985 to listenH8085H6963 to SamuelH8050. “NoH3808H3588H518!” they saidH559. “We must haveH1961 a kingH4428 over usH5921. 20Then we willH587 beH1961H1571 like allH3605 the other nationsH1471, with a kingH4428 to judge usH8199, to go outH3318 before usH6440, and to fightH3898 our battlesH4421.”

21SamuelH8050 listenedH8085 to allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the peopleH5971 and repeated themH1696 in the hearingH241 of the LORDH3068.

22“ListenH8085 to their voiceH6963,” the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 SamuelH8050. “AppointH4427 a kingH4428 for them.”

Then SamuelH8050H413 toldH559 the menH582 of IsraelH3478, “EveryoneH376 must go backH1980 to his cityH5892.”
