1 Samuel 8:5-9
5and they said to him, “Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now 1appoint us a king to judge us like all the nations.” 6But the matter was 23displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And 4Samuel prayed to the Lord. 7And the Lord said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people regarding all that they say to you, because 5they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being King over them. 8Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day--in that they have abandoned Me and served other gods--so they are doing to you as well. 9Now then, listen to their voice; 6however, you shall warn them strongly and tell them of 7the 8practice of the king who will reign over them.”
