When Samuel is old, his sons take bribes and pervert judgment. Israel’s elders therefore ask for a king ‘like all the nations.’ The LORD tells Samuel that the people have rejected His rule over them and commands him to warn them what such a king will take from their families, labor, land, and wealth. The people insist, and God tells Samuel to make them a king.
