1 Samuel 8:8

8 They're doing just what they've done since I took them out of Egypt--leaving me and serving other gods.

1 Samuel 8:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 8:8

According to all the works which they have done since the day
that I brought them out of Egypt
This was no new thing; all that they had done since they were wonderfully favoured of God, as to be brought out of Egyptian bondage, was all of a piece with this; one continued series of ingratitude, of rebellion against God, and against his servants, that he employed under him, as Moses, Aaron

even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other
gods;
this is what this people were always addicted to, to east off the worship and service of God, and go into idolatry:

so do they also unto thee;
acted the like ungrateful part to him for all the service he had done them, from his childhood to that time; wherefore, as the disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord, if such things as before observed were done to Jehovah himself, Samuel could not expect to meet with better treatment, other than he had, see ( Matthew 10:24 Matthew 10:25 ) .

1 Samuel 8:8 In-Context

6 But Samuel considered it wrong for them to request a king to judge them. So Samuel prayed to the LORD.

7 The LORD told Samuel, "Listen to everything the people are saying to you. They haven't rejected you; they've rejected me.

8 They're doing just what they've done since I took them out of Egypt--leaving me and serving other gods.

9 Listen to them now, but be sure to warn them and tell them about the rights of a king."

10 Then Samuel told the people who had asked him for a king everything the LORD had said.
