1 Samuel 8:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 But the matter was displeasing to Samuel[a] when they said, “Give us a king to judge[b] us,” so Samuel prayed to Yahweh.
7 Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people concerning all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them. 8 Like all the deeds they have done from the day I brought them up from Egypt until this day, they have forsaken me and have served other gods—so they are doing to you also.
