- And ye have:
- "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Samuel,ª Hearkenª° unto the voiceª of the peopleª in all¹ that¹ they sayª° unto¹ thee: for¹ they have not¹ rejectedª° thee, but¹ they have rejectedª° me, that I should not reignª°¹ over¹ them. ... Now¹ therefore hearkenª° unto their voice:ª howbeitª yet¹ protest²° solemnlyª° unto them, and shewª° them the mannerª of the kingª that¹ shall reignª° over¹ them." {1Sm 8:7-9} + "Nevertheless the peopleª refusedª° to obeyª° the voiceª of Samuel;ª and they said,ª° Nay;¹ but¹¹ we will have¹ a kingª over¹ us;" {1Sm 8:19} + "And when ye sawª° that¹ Nahashª the kingª of the childrenª of Ammonª cameª° against¹ you, ye saidª° unto me, Nay;¹ but¹ a kingª shall reignª° over¹ us: when the LORDª your Godª [was] your king.ª" {1Sm 12:12} + "[Is it] not¹ wheatª harvestª to day?ª I will callª° unto¹ the LORD,ª and he shall sendª° thunderª and rain;ª that ye may perceiveª° and seeª° that¹ your wickednessª [is] great,ª which¹ ye have doneª° in the sightª of the LORD,ª in askingª° you a king.ª ... And all¹ the peopleª saidª° unto¹ Samuel,ª Prayª° for¹ thy servantsª unto¹ the LORDª thy God,ª that we dieª° not:¹ for¹ we have addedª° unto¹ all¹ our sinsª [this] evil,ª to askª° us a king.ª" {1Sm 12:17-19}
