1 Samuel 8:4-6

1 Samuel 8:4-6 MEV

And all the elders of Israel gathered together and they came to Samuel at Ramah. They said to him, “Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now, install for us a king to govern us like all the nations.” But the thing was evil in the eyes of Samuel, because they said, “Give us a king to govern us.” And Samuel prayed to the LORD.
