God’s Word Translation
1 Samuel 8:19-22
19But the people refused to listen to Samuel. They said, “No, we want a king!
20Then we, too, will be like all the other nations. Our king will judge us, lead us out ⌞to war⌟, and fight our battles.”
21When Samuel heard everything the people had to say, he reported it privately to the Lord.
22The Lord told him, “Listen to them, and give them a king.” Then Samuel told the people of Israel, “Go ⌞back⌟ to your own cities.”
