1 Samuel 8:3-7

1 Samuel 8:3-7 CSB

However, his sons did not walk in his ways #— #they turned toward dishonest profit, took bribes, and perverted justice.  So all the elders of Israel gathered together and went to Samuel at Ramah.  They said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Therefore, appoint a king to judge us the same as all the other nations have.”  When they said, “Give us a king to judge us,” Samuel considered their demand wrong, so he prayed to the LORD. But the LORD told him, “Listen to the people and everything they say to you. They have not rejected you; they have rejected me as their king.
