1 Samuel 8:19-22

19But the people refused to listen to Samuel, and they said, “No! But a king should be over us!

20So we may become like all the nations—having our king who will judge us, go out before us and fight our battles.”

21After Samuel heard all the words of the people, he reported them back in the hearing of Adonai.

22Adonai said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice and appoint a king to reign for them.” So Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Go, each one to his town.”
