really????????????????——

8-) Read my post again.”This institution” is referring to Solomon’s exaltation of the Gebirah, or Queen Mother.

So what ? He also bowed downed and build high places (temples) to the gods his wives worshiped . The very foreign wives he was not suppose to marry . You do know that Solomon is not in Jesus lineage don't you? His kingdom was taken away from him and he died in apostasy worshiping devils .

You also said this .... which is what I quoted and answered before.

YES HE WAS OFFENDED THAT THEY REJECTED HIM.

1Sa 8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

You should read the entire chapter and the next few to see what happened. The children of Israel wanted a king to rule over them and fight their battles ... up until then it was God that was fighting their battles for them .
