1 Samuel 8:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ Therefore, all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel, to Ramah,

⁵ and said to him, “Behold, you are old. And your sons do not walk in your ways. Make us now 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 to the LORD.
