1 Samuel 8:7 in Context — 1 Samuel 8
5 E disseram-lhe: Eis que tu envelheceste, e teus filhos não vão por teus caminhos: portanto, constitui-nos agora um rei que nos julgue, como todas as nações.
6 E descontentou a Samuel esta palavra que disseram: Dá-nos rei que nos julgue. E Samuel orou ao SENHOR.
7 E disse o SENHOR a Samuel: Ouve a voz do povo em tudo o que te disserem: porque não rejeitaram a ti, mas sim a mim me rejeitaram, para que eu não reine sobre eles.
8 Conforme todas as obras que fizeram desde o dia que os tirei do Egito até hoje, que me deixaram e serviram a deuses alheios, assim fazem também contigo.
9 Agora, pois, ouve sua voz: mas protesta contra eles declarando-lhes o direito do rei que há de reinar sobre eles.
