What does the Bible say about kingship in Israel?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that during the time of the Judges, there was no king in Israel, leading people to do what was right in their own eyes (Judges 17:6).

In the book of Judges, particularly in Judges 17:6, it states that 'In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.' This reflects a period of moral and spiritual decline, where the absence of godly leadership resulted in individual autonomy leading to idolatry and sin. Although earthly kings were sought after by Israel, God’s kingship and sovereignty remained, and the true King was often ignored.
