Shmuel Alef 8:4-7 TOJB2011

Then kol Ziknei Yisroel gathered themselves together, and came to Shmuel unto Ramah, And said unto him, Hinei, thou art old, and thy banim walk not in thy drakhim; now appoint for us a Melech to judge us like kol HaGoyim. But the thing was displeasing in the eyes of Shmuel, when they said, Give us a Melech to judge us. And Shmuel davened unto HASHEM. And HASHEM said unto Shmuel, Shema unto the voice of HaAm in all that they say unto thee; for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign as Melech over them.
