1 Samuel 8:18-20
New International Reader's Version
18 When that time comes, you will cry out for help because of the king you have chosen. But the Lord won’t answer you at that time.”
19 In spite of what Samuel said, the people refused to listen to him. “No!” they said. “We want a king to rule over us. 20 Then we’ll be like all the other nations. We’ll have a king to lead us. He’ll go out at the head of our armies and fight our battles.”
