1 Samuel 8:4
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.
In context
2 The name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second was Abijah. They were judges in Beersheba.
3 But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside toward dishonest gain, accepting bribes and perverting justice.
4 So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.
5 “Look,” they said, “you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king to judge us like all the other nations.”
6 But when they said, “Give us a king to judge us,” their demand was displeasing in the sight of Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD.
