1 Samuel 8:8

8 They are doing just as they have always done. They have deserted me and served other gods. They have done that from the time I brought them up out of Egypt until this very day. Now they are deserting you too.

1 Samuel 8:8 In-Context

6 Samuel wasn't pleased when they said, "Give us a king to lead us." So he prayed to the Lord.
7 The LORD told him, "Listen to everything the people are saying to you. You are not the one they have turned their backs on. I am the one they do not want as their king.
8 They are doing just as they have always done. They have deserted me and served other gods. They have done that from the time I brought them up out of Egypt until this very day. Now they are deserting you too.
9 "Let them have what they want. But give them a strong warning. Let them know what the king who rules over them will do."
10 Samuel told the people who were asking him for a king everything the LORD had said.
