Shmuel Alef 8:19-21

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁹ Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Shmuel; and they said, No; but we will have a Melech over us;

²⁰ That we also may be like kol HaGoyim; and that our Melech may judge us, and go out before us, and fight milchamoteinu (our battles).

²¹ And Shmuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of Hashem.
