4 Therefore all the elders of Israel assembled and went to Samuel at Ramah 5 and said to him, “Now that you are old, and your sons do not follow your example, appoint a king over us, like all the nations, to rule us.” 6 Samuel was displeased when they said, “Give us a king to rule us.” But he prayed to the LORD. 7 The LORD said: Listen to whatever the people say. You are not the one they are rejecting. They are rejecting me as their king. 1 Samuel 8:4-7, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
