1 Samuel 8:8 CPDV

⁶  And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, for they had said, 'Give us a king to judge us.' And Samuel prayed to the Lord.

⁷  Then the Lord said to Samuel: 'Listen to the voice of the people in all that they are saying to you. For they have not rejected you, but me, lest I reign over them.

⁸  In accord with all their works, which they have done from the day when I led them away from Egypt, even to this day: just as they have forsaken me, and served foreign gods, so now they also do to you.

⁹  Now therefore, hear their voice. Yet truly, testify to them and foretell to them the rights of the king who will reign over them.'

¹⁰  And so, Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people, who had petitioned a king from him.
