1 Samuel 8:7-9

NSB^{(i) 7} Jehovah answered: »Samuel, do everything they want you to do. I am really the one they have rejected as their king. ⁸ »Ever since the day I rescued my people from Egypt, they have turned from me to worship idols. Now they are turning away from you. ⁹ »Listen to them. But be sure to warn them and tell them about the behavior and rights of a king who rules over them.«
