In practice that didn't work out too well, as the events around Pesel Mikhah and Pilegesh ba-Giv'ah took place when we didn't have a king ("בימים ההם אין מלך בישראל - איש הישר בעיניו יעשה"). The rest of the Judges period was not that much better, if at all. | |

| Jan 13, 2019 at 23:27 | comment | added | Asher | @ln6595 that was why those jews requested a king however there are valid reasons for a king | |

| Jan 13, 2019 at 21:16 | comment | added | JJLL | For some reason, I always thought (don’t have a source immediately at hand) that Jews wanted a king so they could be like other nations. Similarly, early Zionists thought if Jews only had a land of their own, Jews would be more accepted | |
