📚 Historical Context
Samuel is speaking to the Israelites after they had demanded a king like other nations, and God had given them Saul. This occurs during Samuel's farewell address where he's about to call upon God to send thunder and rain during the wheat harvest season (when such weather was virtually impossible) to demonstrate God's displeasure with their request for a king.
