1 Samuel 8:4-7
4So allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 gathered togetherH6908 and cameH935 toH413 SamuelH8050 at RamahH7414. 5“LookH2009,” they saidH559, “youH859 are oldH2204, and your sonsH1121 do notH3808 walkH1980 in your waysH1870. NowH6258 appointH7760 a kingH4428 to judge usH8199 like allH3605 the other nationsH1471.”
6But whenH834 they saidH559, “GiveH5414 us a kingH4428 to judge usH8199,” their demandH1697 was displeasingH7489 in the sightH5869 of SamuelH8050; so heH8050 prayedH6419 toH413 the LORDH3068.
7And the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 SamuelH8050, “ListenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the peopleH5971 in allH3605 thatH834 they sayH559 to youH413. ForH3588 it is notH3808 youH853 they have rejectedH3988, butH3588 they have rejectedH3988 MeH853 as their kingH4427H5921.
