We Want a King | 1 Samuel 8:5

Israel’s elders came to Samuel with one demand: “Make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
Samuel warned them what their choice would cost. They heard his warning, considered his words—and still answered, “Nay; but we will have a king over us.”

Watch this cinematic retelling of 1 Samuel 8:4–20 (KJV) and the moment that changed the course of Israel’s history.
