1 Samuel 8:17-21
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 8

17He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants. 18Then you will cry out on that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you on that day.'
19Yet the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, 'No, but there shall be a king over us, 20so that we also may be like all the nations, and our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.' 21Now after Samuel had heard all the words of the people, he repeated them in the Lord’S hearing.

21And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord.
