 * cry out.
  Isa 8:21 
 * and the Lord.
   "Hitherto," says Puffendorf, "the people of Israel had lived
   under governors raised up by God, who had exacted no tribute
   of them, nor put them to any charge; but little content with
   this form of government, they desire to have a king like other
   nations, who should live in magnificence and pomp, keep
   armies, and be able to resist any invasion.  Samuel informs
   them what it was they desired; that, when they understood it,
   they might consider whether they would persist in their
   choice.  If they would have a king splendidly attended, he
   tells them that he would take their sons for his chariots,
   etc.:  if they would have him keep up constant forces, then he
   would appoint them for colonels and captains, and employ those
   in his wars who were accustomed to follow their family
   business; and since, after the manner of other kings, he must
   keep a stately court, they must be content that their
   daughters should serve in several offices, which the king
   would think below the dignity of his wives and daughters.
   (ver. 13.)  In one word, that, to sustain his dignity, their
   king would exact the tenth of all they possessed, and be
   maintained in a royal manner out of their estates."

 * will not hear.
  Job 27:9  Ps 18:41  Pr 1:25-28  21:13  Isa 1:15  Mic 3:4  Lu 13:25
