Israel Demands a King

1 Samuel 8:4-6

Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah;

and they said to him, “Behold, you are old, and your sons don’t walk in your ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”

But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” Samuel prayed to the LORD.
