This study is a literary examination of the Israelite request for kingship in "1 Samuel 8" with satire in view as its genre. Through a close reading of the passage, this work contends that both Yahweh's and Samuel's speeches combine in the form a judgment speech to the nation of Israel. The greater unit of "1 Samuel 8-12" also shows a satiric dialectic that is subtly anti-Saul but not anti-monarchy. This study argues that "1 Samuel 8" is religio-political satire seeking to reform both the deviation from the covenantal norm of Yahweh's kingship and the deviation from the deuteronomic standard of Yahweh-initiated (ie, prophet anointed) kingship.
