but little content with this form of government, they desire to have a king like other nations, who should live in magnificence and pomp, keep armies, and be able to resist any invasion. Samuel informs them what it was they desired; that, when they understood it, they might consider whether they would persist in their choice. If they would have a king splendidly attended, he tells them that he would take their sons for his chariots, etc.: if they would have him keep up constant forces, then he would appoint them for colonels and captains, and employ those in his wars who were accustomed to follow their family business; and since, after the manner of other kings, he must keep a stately court, they must be content that their daughters should serve in several offices, which the king would think below the dignity of his wives and daughters - 1 Samuel 8:13. In one word, that, to sustain his dignity, their king would exact the tenth of all they possessed, and be maintained in a royal manner out of their estates."will not hearJob 27:9; Psalm 18:41; Proverbs 1:25-28, 21:13; Isaiah 1:15; Micah 3:4; Luke 13:25Reciprocal1 Kings 12:11 - I will add; 2 Chronicles 10:11 - I will put Verse 19refused to obeyPsalm 81:11; Jeremiah 7:13, 44:16; Ezekiel 33:31ReciprocalDeuteronomy 17:14 - I will set; 1 Samuel 8:5 - now make; 9:20 - on whom; 10:1 - captain; 10:19 - And ye have; 11:15 - rejoiced greatly; 12:1 - Behold; 12:12 - Nay; Hosea 13:10 - thy judges; Habakkuk 3:1 - Obey Verse 201 Samuel 8:5; Exodus 33:16; Leviticus 20:24-26; Numbers 23:9; Deuteronomy 7:6; Psalm 106:35; John 15:19; Romans 12:12; 2 Corinthians 6:17; Philippians 3:20; 1 Peter 2:9ReciprocalNumbers 27:17 - go out; Deuteronomy 17:14 - I will set; 1 Samuel 12:2 - walketh; 12:12 - Nay; Hosea 13:10 - thy judges Verse 21he rehearsedJudges 11:11
