5. They said to him, “Behold, you are old, and your sons don’t walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
6. But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” Samuel prayed to Yahweh.
7. Yahweh said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they tell you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me as the king over them.
