1 Samuel 8:5-9

5They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.”

6But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord.

7And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.

8As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you.

9Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”
