1 Samuel 8:7-10

New International Version

⁷ And the Lord told him: “Listen^(A) to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected,^(B) but they have rejected me as their king.^{(C) 8} As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking^(D) me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. ⁹ Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know^(E) what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”

¹⁰ Samuel told^(F) all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king.
