1 Samuel 8:6-10
_ _ the thing displeased Samuel when they said, Give us a king to judge us — Personal and family feelings might affect his views of this public movement. But his dissatisfaction arose principally from the proposed change being revolutionary in its character. Though it would not entirely subvert their theocratic government, the appointment of a visible monarch would necessarily tend to throw out of view their unseen King and Head. God intimated, through Samuel, that their request would, in anger, be granted, while at the same time he apprised them of some of the evils that would result from their choice. |

Prayed — For the pardon of their sin, and direction and help from God in this great affair. |
