Shmuel Alef 8:20-22

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁰ That we also may be like kol HaGoyim; and that our Melech may judge us, and go out before us, and fight milchamoteinu (our battles).

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

²² And Hashem said to Shmuel, Pay heed unto their voice, and crown them a Melech. And Shmuel said unto the Anshei Yisroel, Go ye back every ish unto his ir (town).
