It makes sense because God wanted a prophet not an organization to rule over his people, but they rejected Samuel and insisted on having a King like the surrounding nations (
1 Samuel 8). Even so, Jesus came to sit on the throne of David, and to be the King of Kings, but 300 years afterward, Constantine made the church an extension of his empire. And still today we have division and conflict because men want to be lord's over God heritage (
1 Peter 5:3)
