Gill's Notes on the Bible
I will be thy King, where [is any other] that may save thee in all thy cities?.... Governor, Protector, and Defender; and so confirming what is before said, that their help was in him: or, as the Targum, Abarbinel, and others n, "where is thy king now, that he may serve thee in all thy cities?" whom they had asked, rejecting the Lord, and in whom they had put their trust and confidence for help; and now either having no king, he being taken away from them by death, or by the enemy; or if they had, he being unable to help them in their distress; they are ironically asked where he was, that he might exert himself and save them, if he could, in all the cities of the land, where the enemy were come, a, a had besieged and took them:
and thy judges, of whom thou saidst give me a king and princes? that is; where are thy king and his nobles, his courtiers and his counsellors, and all judges, magistrates, and governors subordinate to him? let them arise for thy help, if they can, by their policy or power, by their counsel, or by their arms; for judges and princes design such as were of the king's court and council, or acted in government under his direction and influence; for though these are not expressly mentioned, when they asked for a king, yet are implied; since there is no king without a court and nobles to attend him, to advise with, and to act under him. This refers to the story in 1 Samuel 8:6, &c. and seems to be the leading step to Israel's ruin and destruction as a state.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I will be thy King - (literally, âI would beâ thy King) Where is any other that, etc. A better translation would be: âWhere now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities; and thy judges, of whom thou saidst, give me a king and princes.â
As Israel was under Samuel, such it remained. âThenâ it mistrusted God, and looked to man for help, saying, âNay, but we will have a king over us, that we also may be like other nations, and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battlesâ 1 Samuel 8:19. In choosing man they rejected God. The like they did, when they chose Jeroboam. In order to rid themselves of the temporary pressure of Rehoboamâs taxes, they demanded anew âking and princes.â First they rejected God as their king; then they rejected the king whom God appointed, and Him in His appointment. âIn all thy cities.â It was then to be one universal need of help. They had chosen a king âto fight their battles,â and had rejected God. Now was the test, whether their choice had been good or evil. One cry for help went up from âall their cities.â God would have heard it; could man?
: âThis question is like that other, âWhere are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drink the wine of their drink offerings?â Deuteronomy 32:37-39. As there, when no answer could be made, He adds, âSee now that I, I am He, and that there is no god with Me,â so here He subjoins;â
