even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods this is what this people were always addicted to, to east off the worship and service of God, and go into idolatry:
so do they also unto thee; acted the like ungrateful part to him for all the service he had done them, from his childhood to that time; wherefore, as the disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord, if such things as before observed were done to Jehovah himself, Samuel could not expect to meet with better treatment, other than he had, see Mt 10:24.

8. According to all the works All their rebellions and murmurings since the time of the exodus had been provocations to their Divine King, and now they add to all these offences by demanding the government of a human king.

1Sa 8:8-9. So do they also unto thee Thou farest no worse than myself. This he speaks for Samuels comfort and vindication. Yet protest solemnly unto them That, if it be possible, thou mayest yet prevent their sin and misery. Show them the manner of the king That is, of the kings which they desire, like those of other nations. Show them at large into what a state of servitude they are going to throw themselves by casting off the government of judges, set over them by myself, and subjecting themselves to the power of such kings as rule in other nations.
