The people of Israel wanted a king. Samuel told them they had God, but that wasn’t good enough - they wanted to be like other countries and have a human king lead them. God will let you place other humans or “kings” before him but eventually you won’t like it at all.
1 Samuel 8:9 (NIV)9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”
