New Living Translation
1 Samuel 8:19-22
19But the people refused to listen to Samuel’s warning. “Even so, we still want a king,” they said.
20“We want to be like the nations around us. Our king will judge us and lead us into battle.”
21So Samuel repeated to the Lord what the people had said,
22and the Lord replied, “Do as they say, and give them a king.” Then Samuel agreed and sent the people home.
