1 Samuel 8:5-8

5and saidH559 to him, Behold, thou art become old, and thy sonsH1121 walkH1980 not in thy waysH1870: nowH6258 appointH7760 us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 us, like all the nationsH1471.

6And the thingH1697 displeased SamuelH8050, whenH834 they saidH559, GiveH5414 us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 us. And SamuelH8050 prayedH6419 to Jehovah.

7And Jehovah saidH559 to SamuelH8050, Hearken unto the voiceH6963 of the peopleH5971 in all that they sayH559 unto thee: for they have not rejectedH3988 thee, but they have rejectedH3988 me, that I should not reignH4427 over them.

8According to all the deedsH4639 that they have done since the dayH3117 that I broughtH5927 them up out of EgyptH4714 even unto this dayH3117, in that they have forsaken me and servedH5647 otherH312 1godsH430, soH3651 do they alsoH1571 unto thee.
