    5 They said to him, 'You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways. Now appoint a king to judge us, like all the other nations.'

    6 But their request for a king displeased Samuel, and he prayed to the LORD.

    7 The LORD said to Samuel, 'Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you. It is not you they have rejected but they have rejected me as their king.

    8 Just as they have done to me from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day—forsaking me and serving other gods—so they are also doing to you.

    9 Now then, listen to them, but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will demand.'
