1 Samuel 8:4-6

Darby Translation

⁴ Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah,

⁵ and said to him, Behold, thou art become old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now appoint us a king to judge us, like all the nations.

⁶ And the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to Jehovah.
