This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They said, Nay, i.e. these things shall never be, these are but vain suppositions to affright us from our purpose. Thus they are not ashamed to give Samuel the lie, of whose modesty, integrity, and prophetical spirit they had so great assurance, as if he had reigned those pretences merely to keep the power in his own and his sons’ hands.
We will have a king over us; we will have a king, whatsoever it cost us, although all thy predictions should be verified.
