7 And the Lord said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from ^jbeing king over them.

19 But today you have ^jrejected your God, who saves you from all your calamities and your distresses, and ^kyou have said to him, ‘Set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.”
