Samuel said to all Israel,“ I have listened to everything you said to me and have set a king over you.

And Samuel said to all Israel,“ Behold, I have obeyed your voice in all that you have said to me and have made a king over you.

Then Samuel addressed all Israel:“ I have done as you asked and given you a king.

Then Samuel said to all Israel,“ I have carefully listened to everything you said to me and placed a king over you.

Then Samuel said to all Israel,“ Behold, I have listened to your voice for all that you said to me, and I have appointed a king over you.

Now Samuel said to all Israel:“ Indeed I have heeded your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.

And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.

Then Samuel said to all Israel,“ I have carefully listened to everything you said to me and placed a king over you.

And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.

Samuel said to all Israel,“ I have done everything you requested. I have given you a king.

Samuel said to all Israel,“ Behold, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.

Samuel spoke to all the people. He said,“ Look at the man the Lord has chosen! There isn’t anyone like him among all the people.” Then the people shouted,“ May the king live a long time!”

Then Samuel said to the people,“ Come on. Let’s go to Gilgal. There we’ll agree again to have Saul as our king.”So all the people went to Gilgal. There, with the Lord as witness, they made Saul their king. There they sacrificed friendship offerings to the Lord. And there Saul and all the Israelites celebrated with great joy.

Then Samuel took a bottle of olive oil. He poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him. He said,“ The Lord has anointed you to be the king of his people.

In spite of what Samuel said, the people refused to listen to him.“ No!” they said.“ We want a king to rule over us.Then we’ll be like all the other nations. We’ll have a king to lead us. He’ll go out at the head of our armies and fight our battles.”Samuel heard everything the people said. He told the Lord about it.The Lord answered,“ Listen to them. Give them a king.” Then Samuel said to the Israelites,“ Each of you go back to your own town.”

They said to him,“ You are old. Your sons don’t live as you do. So appoint a king to lead us. We want a king just like the kings all the other nations have.”Samuel wasn’t pleased when they said,“ Give us a king to lead us.” So he prayed to the Lord.The Lord told him,“ Listen to everything the people are saying to you. You are not the one they have turned their backs on. I am the one they do not want as their king.They are doing just as they have always done. They have deserted me and served other gods. They have done that from the time I brought them up out of Egypt until this day. Now they are deserting you too.
