The Idea of a king over them was their own idea to copy other pagan countries. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=1%20Samuel%208&amp;version=MEV;NKJV;RVR1960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1 Sam.8:7-20<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Lord said to Samuel, \u201cObey the voice of the people in relation to all that they say to you. <span style=\"color: #800000;\">For it is not you they have rejected, <strong>but Me they have rejected<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">from reigning over them<\/span><\/span>. 8 Just as all the deeds which they have done to Me, from the day I brought them up from Egypt even to this day, in that <strong>they have forsaken Me <\/strong>and have served other gods, so they are doing also to you now. 9 Now then, obey their voice.
