4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah; 5 and they said to him, |Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways: now make us 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.| Samuel prayed to the LORD. 7 The LORD said to Samuel, |Listen to the voice of the people in all that they tell you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me, that I should not be king over them. 1 Samuel 8:4-7, New Heart English Bible.
