That one section of Samuel explains why the monarchy and their collaborators in the Roman Church were so desperate to keep the scriptures out of the hands of the commons. It is a knife into the heart of the self-serving lie that monarchy, not liberty, is God’s perfect will for man.
Not all advocates of liberty agree with you that the two are mutually exclusive. Here are five excellent pro-monarchy articles by libertarians, published in libertarian sources:
Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, Monarchy and War
Lew Rockwell, Why Hate Monarchs?
Sean Gabb, In Defence of the Monarchy
Carlo Stagnaro, In Honor of Franz Joseph
Leland Yeager, Monarchy: Friend of Liberty
...not to mention an entire book by economist Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Democracy--The God that Failed: The Economics and Politics of Monarchy, Democracy, and Natural Order
To all of my fellow monarchists: I apologize for my delay in facing the latest Jacobin tirade, but like the Gonzales 32 (B-Chan knows'em I'm sure), 'I am come to share your fate".
Now, as to your uninformed comments Mr DManA, if you can tax your brain for a few minutes, I would be happy for you to read my look at this subject, all of it taken from the Bible directly at:

Contrarily to what YOU in your great holy wisdom seem to think, God, in both Sacred Scripture and tradition did no less than COMMAND obedience to monarchs, even going so far as to say we are not to even THINK evil of them or to associate in any way with those opposed to them.
Blessed Charles of Austria, pray for us.
GOTT ERHALTE UNSER KAISER!!!
God's will for man is salvation last time I checked, not liberty (such an ambiguous term). The question is, what form of government creates a social order most conducive to salvation? Democracy, where the will of man rules supreme? Don't think so.
