KINGS God made man both king and priest and said that mans insistence on having an earthly king to rule them instead of depending on Gods WORD to rule them was the same thing as rejecting God. It still is: Then all the elders of Israel...came to Samuel... make us a king to judge us like all the nations...And the Lord said the people ...have not rejected thee. but they have rejected me. that I should not reign over them howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them. and show them the manner 0/ the king that shall reign over them. And Samuel told all the words of the Lord... this will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons. and appoint them for himself .for his chariots. and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots...And he will take your daughters to be confectioneries. and 10 be cooks. and to be bakers. And he will take your fields. and your vineyards. and your olive-yards. even the best of them. and give them to his servants, And he will take the tenth of y our seed. and of your Vineyards. and give to his officers. and to his servants... shall take the tenth of your sheep ; and ye shall be his servants. And ye shall cry out in the day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the Lord will not hear you in that day. II Samuel 8:1-18
