1 Samuel 8:19-22

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁹ And the people refuse to hearken to the voice of Samuel, and say, `Nay, but a king is over us,

²⁰ and we have been, even we, like all the nations; and our king hath judged us, and gone out before us, and fought our battles.'

²¹ And Samuel heareth all the words of the people, and speaketh them in the ears of Jehovah;

²² and Jehovah saith unto Samuel, `Hearken to their voice, and thou hast caused to reign over them a king.' And Samuel saith unto the men of Israel, `Go ye each to his city.'
