1 Samuel 8:19-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹ Nevertheless, the people ^(A)refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, “No, but there shall be a king over us, ^20 (B)that we also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.” ²¹ Now after Samuel had heard all the words of the people, ^(C)he repeated them in the Lord’s hearing.
