1 Samuel 8:22 BBE

²⁰  So that we may be like the other nations, and so that our king may be our judge and go out before us to war.

²¹  Then Samuel, after hearing all the people had to say, went and gave an account of it to the Lord.

²²  And the Lord said to Samuel, Give ear to their voice and make a king for them. Then Samuel said to the men of Israel, Let every man go back to his town.
