1 Samuel 8:4-7
4Then allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 together and cameH935 to SamuelH8050 at 1RamahH7414;
5and they saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009, you have grownH2204 oldH2204, and your sonsH1121 do not walkH1980 in your waysH1870. NowH6258 2appointH7760 us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 us like allH3605 the nationsH1471.”
6But the matterH1697 was 34displeasingH7489 in the sightH5869 of SamuelH8050 whenH3512 they saidH559, “GiveH5414 us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 us.” And 5SamuelH8050 prayedH6419 to the LordH3068.
7And the LordH3068 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, “ListenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the peopleH5971 regarding allH3605 that they sayH559 to you, becauseH3588 6they have not rejectedH3988 you, but they have rejectedH3988 Me from beingH4427 KingH4427 overH5921 them.
