1 Samuel 8:5-7

21st Century King James Version

⁵ and said unto him, “Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways. Now make us a king to judge us, like all the nations.”

⁶ But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed unto the Lord.

⁷ And the Lord said unto Samuel, “Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee; for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.
