18 E clamareis aquele dia por causa de vosso rei que vos havereis escolhido, mas o SENHOR não vos ouvirá naquele dia.
19 Porém o povo não quis ouvir a voz de Samuel; antes disseram: Não, mas sim que haverá rei sobre nós:
20 E nós seremos também como todas as nações, e nosso rei nos governará, e sairá diante de nós, e fará nossas guerras.
21 E ouviu Samuel todas as palavras do povo, e referiu-as aos ouvidos do SENHOR.
