1 Samuel 8:19-21

Tree of Life Version

¹⁹ But the people refused to listen to Samuel, and they said, “No! But a king should be over us! ²⁰ So we may become like all the nations—having our king who will judge us, go out before us and fight our battles.”

²¹ After Samuel heard all the words of the people, he reported them back in the hearing of Adonai.
