1. 1 Samuel 8:6 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

Why does the request for a king displease Samuel?

1 Samuel 8:6 (NEG79)

6 Samuel vit avec déplaisir qu'ils disaient: Donne-nous un roi pour nous juger. Et Samuel pria l'Eternel.

Samuel must have known about the Lord’s provision for a king made in Deuteronomy 17:1–20.1 It may be that Samuel understood the request to be a personal rejection of his leadership as well as the God-given institution of judges.2
