Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 8:19-22

_ _ Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel — They sneered at Samuel’s description as a bugbear to frighten them. Determined, at all hazards, to gain their object, they insisted on being made like all the other nations, though it was their glory and happiness to be unlike other nations in having the Lord for their King and Lawgiver (Numbers 23:9; Deuteronomy 33:28). Their demand was conceded, for the government of a king had been provided for in the law; and they were dismissed to wait the appointment, which God had reserved to Himself (Deuteronomy 17:14-20).
