The people of Israel, wanting to be like other nations, desire a king. Samuel is displeased by their demands, but the Lord tells him that it is not Samuel’s leadership they are rejecting, but His own.
Watu wa Israeli, kutaka kuwa kama mataifa mengine, wanatamani mfalme. Samweli hakufurahishwa na madai yao, lakini Bwana anamwambia kwamba si uongozi wa Samweli wamekataa bali ni wake mwenyewe.
