Excerpt from Bible Course, Vol. 8: Outline and Notes
1. The Demand for a King, 1 Saml. 8:4-5. Three reasons are here assigned for desiring a king: (1) The old age of Samuel. They had experienced under Samuel the benefits of national unity, the advantage of having a wise and strong hand to guide the affairs of the nation, and they looked with apprehension to the time when Samuel should die. (2) The character of Samuel's sons. They doubtless had reason to fear the succession of Samuel's sons to positions of authority in the nation. Such was the manner of life of these young men that the people were unwilling for them to become rulers. (3) They desired a king "like all the nations."
