5 “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.”

19 Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We must have a king over us.

20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to judge us, to go out before us, and to fight our battles.”
