H1961
And it came
H834
to pass, when
H8050
Samuel
H2204
was old,
H7760
that he made
H1121
his sons
H8199
judges
H3478
over Israel.
2
H8034
Now the name
H1060
of his firstborn
H3100
was Joel;
H8034
and the name
H4932
of his second,
H29
Abiah:
H8199
they were judges
H884
in Beersheba.
3
H1121
And his sons
H1980
walked
H1870
not in his ways,
H5186
but turned
H5186
aside
H310
after
H1215
lucre,
H3947
and took
H7810
bribes,
H5186
and perverted
H4941
judgment.
4
H3605
Then all
H2205
the elders
H3478
of Israel
H6908
gathered
H935
themselves together, and came
H8050
to Samuel
H7414
to Ramah,
5
H559
And said
H2009
to him, Behold,
H2204
you are old,
H1121
and your sons
H1980
walk
H1870
not in your ways:
H6258
now
H7760
make
H4428
us a king
H8199
to judge
H3605
us like all
H1471
the nations.
6
H1697
But the thing
H7489
displeased
H5869
H8050
Samuel,
H834
when
H559
they said,
H5414
Give
H4428
us a king
H8199
to judge
H8050
us. And Samuel
H6419
prayed
H3068
to the LORD.
7
H3068
And the LORD
H559
said
H8050
to Samuel,
H8085
Listen
H6963
to the voice
H5971
of the people
H3605
in all
H559
that they say
H3988
to you: for they have not rejected
H3988
you, but they have rejected
H4427
me, that I should not reign
H5921
over them.
8
H3605
According to all
H4639
the works
H834
which
H6213
they have done
H3117
since the day
H5927
that I brought
H4714
them up out of Egypt
H2088
even to this
H3117
day,
H5800
with which they have forsaken
H5647
me, and served
H312
other
H430
gods,
H3651
so
H6213
do
H1571
they also to you.
9
H6258
Now
H8085
therefore listen
H6963
to their voice:
H389
however,
H3588
yet
H5749
protest
H5749
solemnly
H5046
to them, and show
H4941
them the manner
H4428
of the king
H4427
that shall reign
H5921
over them.
10
H8050
And Samuel
H559
told
H3605
all
H1697
the words
H3068
of the LORD
H5971
to the people
H7592
that asked
H4428
of him a king.
11
H559
And he said,
H2088
This
H4941
will be the manner
H4428
of the king
H4427
that shall reign
H3947
over you: He will take
H1121
your sons,
H7760
and appoint
H4818
them for himself, for his chariots,
H6571
and to be his horsemen;
H7323
and some shall run
H6440
before
H4818
his chariots.
12
H7760
And he will appoint
H8269
him captains
H505
over thousands,
H8269
and captains
H2572
over fifties;
H2790
and will set them to ear
H2758
his ground,
H7114
and to reap
H7105
his harvest,
H6213
and to make
H3627
his instruments
H4421
of war,
H3627
and instruments
H7393
of his chariots.
13
H3947
And he will take
H1323
your daughters
H7543
to be confectionaries,
H2876
and to be cooks,
H644
and to be bakers.
14
H3947
And he will take
H7704
your fields,
H3754
and your vineyards,
H2132
and your olive groves,
H2896
even the best
H5414
of them, and give
H5650
them to his servants.
15
H6237
And he will take the tenth
H2233
of your seed,
H3754
and of your vineyards,
H5414
and give
H5631
to his officers,
H5650
and to his servants.
16
H3947
And he will take
H5650
your menservants,
H8198
and your maidservants,
H2896
and your best
H970
young
H2543
men, and your asses,
H6213
and put
H4399
them to his work.
18
H2199
And you shall cry
H3117
out in that day
H6440
because
H4428
of your king
H834
which
H977
you shall have chosen
H3068
you; and the LORD
H6030
will not hear
H3117
you in that day.
19
H5971
Nevertheless the people
H3985
refused
H8085
to obey
H6963
the voice
H8050
of Samuel;
H559
and they said,
H3808
No;
H1961
but we will have
H4428
a king
H5921
over us;
20
H1571
That we also
H3605
may be like all
H1471
the nations;
H4428
and that our king
H8199
may judge
H3318
us, and go
H6440
out before
H3898
us, and fight
H4421
our battles.
