1 Samuel 8:7-8 ▼

7 The LORD told Samuel, |Listen to the people in all that they say to you. In fact, it's not you they have rejected, but rather they have rejected me from being their king.

8 Like all the things they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this very day, they have forsaken me and followed other gods. They're also doing the same thing to you.
