And it came to pass, when Samuel
H2204
was old,
H7760
that he made
H1121
his sons
H8199
judges
H3478
over Israel.
2
H8034
Now the name
H1121
of his firstborn
H3100
was Joel;
H8034
and the name
H4932
of his second,
H29
Abiah:
H8199
they were judges
H884
in Beer–sheba.
3
H1121
And his sons
H1980
walked
H1870
not in his ways,
H5186
but turned aside
H310
after
H1215
lucre,
H3947
and took
H7810
bribes,
H5186
and perverted
H4941
judgment.
4
H2205
Then all the elders
H3478
of Israel
H6908
gathered themselves together,
H935
and came
H8050
to Samuel
H7414
unto Ramah,
5
H559
And said
H2204
unto him, Behold, you are old,
H1121
and your sons
H1980
walk
H1870
not in your ways:
H7760
now make
H4428
us a king
H8199
to judge
H1471
us like all the nations.
6
H1697
But the thing
H3415
displeased
H8050
Samuel,
H559
when they said,
H5414
Give
H4428
us a king
H8199
to judge
H8050
us. And Samuel
H6419
prayed
H3068
unto the Lord.
7
H3068
And the Lord
H559
said
H8050
unto Samuel,
H8085
Listen
H6963
unto the voice
H5971
of the people
H559
in all that they say
H3988
unto you: for they have not rejected
H3988
you, but they have rejected
H4427
me, that I should not reign over them.
8
H4639
According to all the works
H6213
which they have done
H3117
since the day
H5927
that I brought them up
H4714
out of Egypt
H3117
even unto this day,
H5800
with which they have forsaken
H5647
me, and served
H312
other
H430
gods,
H6213
so do they also unto you.
9
H8085
Now therefore listen
H6963
unto their voice:
H389
but
H5749
yet protest
H5749
solemnly
H5046
unto them, and show
H4941
them the manner
H4428
of the king
H4427
that shall reign over them.
10
H8050
And Samuel
H559
told
H1697
all the words
H3068
of the Lord
H5971
unto the people
H7592
that asked
H4428
of him a king.
11
H559
And he said,
H4941
This 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 plow
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
H7548
to be confectionaries,
H2879
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 oliveyards,
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 men,
H2543
and your donkeys,
H6213
and put
H4399
them to his work.
18
H2199
And you shall cry out
H3117
in that day
H6440
because
H4428
of your king
H977
which 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,
H4428
No; but we will have a king over us;
20
H1471
That we also may be like all the nations;
H4428
and that our king
H8199
may judge
H3318
us, and go out
H6440
before
H3898
us, and fight
H4421
our battles.
