Yes, the reasons why the Israelites wanted a king was the same as why we want one. The audience is told in the epistles to honor the king because they have one. David is very careful to honor King Saul; he refused to hurt God\'s anointed one.
The passage where the Israelites ask for a king is a different issue. Why would someone want a king if they didn\'t have one? God tells Samuel that the people want a king because they want to reject God and be like the other nations. What reasons do we have?
