My word is a lamp is a lamp unto my feet and delight unto my path.

Unto my path.

Unto my pet.

they would have if they got a king, they still insisted. And so God gave them a king.

In our study last time Samuel again God gave them a king.

In our study last time, Samuel again told them that this insistence on a king was a

sin, and the people asked Samuel to pray for them so that they would not die.
