It was toward the end of the Book of Judges as the final end of that era, before the Book of Kings. The Israelites had asked the prophet of the time if God would appoint them a King. He counseled with God who instructed him to tell the Israelites all the woes that would result from having a King, and he did, but the Israelites still wanted a King. So began the history starting with King Saul, leading to King David, and then to King Solomon in the Book of Kings. Not hard to look up.
