8:7 The Lord said to Samuel, “Do everything the people request of you. 1 For it is not you that they have rejected, but it is me that they have rejected as their king.
8:8 Just as they have done 2 from the day that I brought them up from Egypt until this very day, they have rejected me and have served other gods. This is what they are also doing to you.
1 tnHeb “Listen to the voice of the people, to all which they say to you.”
2 tnHeb “according to all the deeds which they have done.”
