1 Samuel 8:20 CPDV

¹⁸  And you will cry out, in that day, from the face of the king, whom you have chosen for yourselves. And the Lord will not heed you, in that day. For you requested a king for yourselves.'

¹⁹  But the people were not willing to listen to the voice of Samuel. Instead, they said: 'By no means! For there shall be a king over us,

²⁰  and we shall be just like all the Gentiles. And our king will judge us, and he will go out before us, and he will fight our wars for us.'

²¹  And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he spoke them to the ears of the Lord.

²²  Then the Lord said to Samuel, 'Listen to their voice, and appoint a king over them.' And Samuel said to the men of Israel, 'Let each one go to his own city.'
