Samuel is describing one event (the people seeing their king) before describing another event that preceded it (Yahweh giving them a king). In your translation, you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they happened. Alternate translation: [And behold, Yahweh has given a king over you. So now, behold the king whom you have chosen, whom you have requested]

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֨ה

and=see/lo/see!

In the earlier instance of the term in this verse, Samuel actually does want the people to behold or look at their king. But in this second instance, Samuel is using the term behold to call attention to and emphasize what he is about to say. Alternate translation: [And in fact]
