1 Samuel 8:5-9

5And saidH559 to him, Behold, thou art oldH2204, and thy sonsH1121 walkH1980 not in thy waysH1870: now makeH7760 us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 us like all the nationsH1471. 6But the thingH1697 displeasedH3415H5869 SamuelH8050, when they saidH559, GiveH5414 us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 us. And SamuelH8050 prayedH6419 to the LORDH3068.1 7And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, HearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the peopleH5971 in all that they sayH559 to thee: for they have not rejectedH3988 thee, but they have rejectedH3988 me, that I should not reignH4427 over them. 8According to all the worksH4639 which they have doneH6213 since the dayH3117 that I brought themH5927 out of EgyptH4714 even to this dayH3117, in that they have forsakenH5800 me, and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, so doH6213 they also to thee. 9Now therefore hearkenH8085 to their voiceH6963: yet protestH5749 solemnlyH5749 to them, and showH5046 them the mannerH4941 of the kingH4428 that shall reignH4427 over them.23
