Israel: Under the Judges: They Demand a King
Source: Nav
1 Samuel 8:5–20
“Look,” they said, “you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king to judge us like all the other nations.” / But when they said, “Give us a king to judge us,” their demand was displeasing in the sight of Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD. / And the LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you. For it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their king.
Hosea 13:10
Where is your king now to save you in all your cities, and the rulers to whom you said, “Give me a king and princes”?
