Vulgate (Clementine): Noluit autem populus audire vocem Samuelis, sed dixerunt : Nequaquam : rex enim erit super nos,
Septuagint (Swete): Καὶ οὐκ ἠβούλετο ὁ λαὸς ἀκοῦσαι τοῦ Σαμουήλ, καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ Οὐχί, ἀλλ᾽ ἢ βασιλεὺς ἔσται ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς,
Hebrew (WLC): וַיְמָאֲנ֣וּ הָעָ֔ם לִשְׁמֹ֖עַ בְּק֣וֹל שְׁמוּאֵ֑ל וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ לֹּ֔א כִּ֥י אִם מֶ֖לֶךְ יִֽהְיֶ֥ה עָלֵֽינוּ
