1 Samuel 8:4-7
4Finally, all the elders of Israel met at Ramah to discuss the matter with Samuel.
5“Look,” they told him, “you are now old, and your sons are not like you. Give us a king to judge us like all the other nations have.”
6Samuel was displeased with their request and went to the Lord for guidance.
7“Do everything they say to you,” the Lord replied, “for they are rejecting me, not you. They don’t want me to be their king any longer.
