And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto
them
How he considered this request of theirs as a rejection of him as
their king, and that it was acting the same ungrateful part they
had always done; and since they were so importunate to have it
granted, it should be done; but that he was ordered to lay before
them all the inconveniences that would attend it, and the evils
that would follow upon it unto them:
that asked of him a king;
which is observed, not to distinguish a part of them from the
rest; for this was an united request of the people.
