And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that {there is} none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king. {God...: Heb. Let the king live}

Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.

Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured {it} upon his head, and kissed him, and said, {Is it} not because the LORD hath anointed thee {to be} captain over his inheritance?

And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.

Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;

And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
