1 Samuel 8:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ But the people would not hear the voice of Samuel, and they said: Nay: but there shall be a king over us.

²⁰ And we also will be like all nations: and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles for us.

²¹ And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord.
