6 In those days there was no king in Israel.+ As for everybody, what was right in his own eyes he was accustomed to do.+

18 In those days there was no king in Israel.+ And in those days the tribe of the Danʹites+ was looking for an inheritance for itself to dwell there; because up to that day an inheritance had not fallen to them in the midst of the tribes of Israel.+

25 In those days there was no king in Israel.+ What was right in his own eyes was what each one was accustomed to do.+

4 In time all the older men of Israel+ collected themselves together and came to Samuel at Raʹmah

5 and said to him: “Look! You yourself have grown old, but your own sons have not walked in your ways. Now do appoint for us a king+ to judge us like all the nations.”
