NASB
"that we also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.""
— 1 Samuel 8:20, NASB
“That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.”
“that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles. ”
“that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles."”
“We will be like all the other nations. Our king will judge us and lead us and fight our battles.””
“And we also will be like all nations: and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles for us.”
“So that we may be like the other nations, and so that our king may be our judge and go out before us to war.”
“That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.”
"He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants.
"Then you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day."
Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, "No, but there shall be a king over us,
that we also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles."
Now after Samuel had heard all the words of the people, he repeated them in the LORD'S hearing.
The LORD said to Samuel, "Listen to their voice and appoint them a king." So Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Go every man to his city."
