1 Samuel 8:4-10

Then all the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>
gathered themselves together
<06908> (8691)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Samuel
<08050>
unto Ramah
<07414>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold, thou art old
<02204> (8804)_,
and thy sons
<01121>
walk
<01980> (8804)
not in thy ways
<01870>_:
now make
<07760> (8798)
us a king
<04428>
to judge
<08199> (8800)
us like all the nations
<01471>_.
But the thing
<01697>
displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>
Samuel
<08050>_,
when they said
<0559> (8804)_,
Give
<05414> (8798)
us a king
<04428>
to judge
<08199> (8800)
us. And Samuel
<08050>
prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
{displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto the voice
<06963>
of the people
<05971>
in all that they say
<0559> (8799)
unto thee: for they have not rejected
<03988> (8804)
thee, but they have rejected
<03988> (8804)
me, that I should not reign
<04427> (8800)
over them.
According to all the works
<04639>
which they have done
<06213> (8804)
since the day
<03117>
that I brought them up
<05927> (8687)
out of Egypt
<04714>
even unto this day
<03117>_,
wherewith they have forsaken
<05800> (8799)
me, and served
<05647> (8799)
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
so do
<06213> (8802)
they also unto thee.
Now therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto their voice
<06963>_:
howbeit
<0389>
yet protest
<05749> (8686)
solemnly
<05749> (8687)
unto them, and shew
<05046> (8689)
them the manner
<04941>
of the king
<04428>
that shall reign
<04427> (8799)
over them. {hearken...: or, obey} {howbeit...: or, notwithstanding when thou hast solemnly protested against them then thou shalt}
And Samuel
<08050>
told
<0559> (8799)
all the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto the people
<05971>
that asked
<07592> (8802)
of him a king
<04428>_.
