1 Samuel 8:19-22
-
19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
-
20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
-
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
-
22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
