1 Samuel 8:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ But the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel. And they said, “No! But surely a king will be over us! ²⁰ So that we also will be like all the nations! And so that our king will govern us, and will go out before us, and will fight our battles.”

²¹ And after Samuel heard all the words of the people, he spoke them in the hearing of the Lord.
