1 Samuel 8:7-9 And Jehovah said to Samuel, Listen to the voice of the people, to all that they say to you. For they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from reigning over them.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And Jehovah said to Samuel, Listen to the voice of the people, to all that they say to you. For they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from reigning over them. ⁸ According to all the works that they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day, when they forsook Me and served other gods, so they are also doing to you. ⁹ And now listen to their voice. Only, you shall surely protest to them, and shall declare to them the privilege of the king who shall reign over them.
