1 Samuel 8:19-21

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁹ Nevertheless, the people refused to hear the voice of Samuel, and they said, No, but we will have a king over us

²⁰ that we also may be like all the Gentiles and that our king may govern 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.
