19 Nevertheless, the people refused to hear the voice of Samuel, and they said, No, but we will have a king over us 20 that we also may be like all the Gentiles and that our king may govern us and go out before us and fight our battles. 21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD. 22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and place a king over them. Then Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go each one unto his city.
