1 Samuel 8:18

18 And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves; but the Lord will not answer you in that day."

1 Samuel 8:18 In-Context

16 He will take your male and female slaves, and the best of your cattle and donkeys, and put them to his work.
17 He will take one-tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves.
18 And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves; but the Lord will not answer you in that day."
19 But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; they said, "No! but we are determined to have a king over us,
20 so that we also may be like other nations, and that our king may govern us and go out before us and fight our battles."
