1 Samuel 8:4-8

4Then allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 themselvesH6908 togetherH6908, and cameH935 to SamuelH8050 unto RamahH7414:

5and they saidH559 unto him, BeholdH2009, thou art oldH1121, and thy sonsH1121 walkH1980 notH3808 in thy waysH1870: nowH6258 makeH7760 usH413 a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 usH413 like allH3605 the nationsH1471.

6But the thingH1697 displeasedH7489 SamuelH8050; when they saidH559, GiveH5414 usH5414 a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 usH5414. And SamuelH8050 prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068.

7And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, Hearken unto the voiceH6963 of the peopleH5971 in allH3605 that they sayH559 unto thee: for they have notH3808 rejectedH3988 thee, but they have rejectedH3988 meH413, that I should notH3808 be kingH4427 over them.

8According to allH3605 the worksH4639 whichH834 they have doneH6213 sinceH834 the dayH3117 that I broughtH5927 them upH5927 outH3605 of EgyptH4714 evenH1571 unto this dayH3117, in that they have forsaken meH5927, and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, soH3651 doH6213 they also unto thee.
