[:en]Thoughts from 1 Samuel 08[:]

[:en]When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons, Joel and Abijah as judges to serve at Beersheba.  But his sons were dishonest and corrupt.  So the elders of Israel gathered together and demanded to have a king to lead them.  God told Samuel to warn them about what the king would do but they still insisted of having one against the will of God.[:]
