The LORD answered: Samuel, do everything they want you to do. I am really the one they have rejected as their king.

Ever since the day I rescued my people from Egypt, they have turned from me to worship idols. Now they are turning away from you.

and said, “You are an old man. You set a good example for your sons, but they haven't followed it. Now we want a king to be our leader, just like all the other nations. Choose one for us!” Samuel was upset to hear the leaders say they wanted a king, so he prayed about it.

The people would not listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want to be like other nations. We want a king to rule us and lead us in battle.”
