19 The people refused to listen to Samuel. Instead, they insisted, |No! Let a king rule over us instead! 20 We, too, will be like all the nations! Our king will govern us and go out before us to fight our battles.| 21 So Samuel listened to all the words of the people, and he repeated them directly to the LORD. 22 The LORD told Samuel, |Listen to them, and appoint a king for them.| Then Samuel told the men of Israel, |Each of you go to his own town.| 1 Samuel 8:19-22, Intl.
