The unfaithfulness of Samuel's sons, coupled with the threat of warfare with the Ammonites, prompted the older men of Israel to request that Samuel appoint a king over them. (1Samuel 8:4, 5; 12:12)

Why was Samuel reluctant to give the people a king?

Samuel was afraid of being killed by Saul for anointing David. Saul had been the king until he rejected the Word of the Lord, but now God had taken the honor away from him and given it to David instead. I can't find any verses that say Samuel was afraid to annoint David as King. As to what I understood from the following verses, Saul did not follow the instructions of God, and God sends Samuel to find another King. If it was God who commanded Samuel to find a replacement of Saul, why then would Samuel be afraid of Saul, a mortal? 1 Samuel; God orders Saul to kill 'ALL' of the Amalekites: men, women, infants, sucklings, ox, sheep, camels, and asses. Why? Because God remembers what Amalek did hundreds of years ago. 15:2-3 Saul killed everyone but Agag (the king) and the best of the animals. But still God was furious with Saul for not killing everything as he had been told to do. He said, "it repenteth me that I have set Saul up to be king." 15:7-26 Because Saul didn't kill everyone as God commanded, God changes his mind about him being king. 15:23-26 After God rejects Saul for refusing to kill indiscriminately, he sends Samuel to find another king. David is chosen and anointed by Samuel, and "the spirit of the Lord came upon him from that day forward." 16:13== 1 And the LORD said to Samuel, How long will thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee what thou shall do: and thou shall anoint unto me him whom I name to thee.4 And Samuel did that which the LORD spoke, and came to Bethlehem.


Was the call for a king by the israelites justifiable?

NO. 1 Samuel 8:7 - Then God said to Samuel: "Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for it is not (only) you whom they have rejected, but it is I whom they have rejected from being king over them. You will find their consequences for rejecting God as their ruler in: 1 Samuel 8:10-18.
