It happened, 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
Abijah:
H8199
they were judges
H884
in Beersheba.
3
H1121
His sons
H1980
didn't walk
H1870
in his ways,
H5186
but turned aside
H310
after
H1215
lucre,
H3947
and took
H7810
bribes,
H5186
and perverted
H4941
justice.
4
H2205
Then all the elders
H3478
of Israel
H6908
gathered themselves together,
H935
and came
H8050
to Samuel
H7414
to Ramah;
5
H559
and they said
H2204
to him, "Behold, you are old,
H1121
and your sons
H1980
don't walk
H1870
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." Samuel
H6419
prayed
H3068
to Yahweh.
7
H3068
Yahweh
H559
said
H8050
to Samuel,
H8085
"Listen
H6963
to the voice
H5971
of the people
H559
in all that they tell
H3988
you; for they have not rejected
H3988
you, but they have rejected
H4427
me, that I should not be king 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 to this day,
H5800
in that they have forsaken
H5647
me, and served
H312
other
H430
gods,
H6213
so do they also to you.
9
H8085
Now therefore listen
H6963
to their voice:
H389
however
H5749
you shall protest
H5749
solemnly
H5046
to them, and shall show
H4941
them the way
H4428
of the king
H4427
who shall reign over them."
10
H8050
Samuel
H559
told
H1697
all the words
H3068
of Yahweh
H5971
to the people
H7592
who asked
H4428
of him a king.
11
H559
He said,
H4941
"This will be the way
H4428
of the king
H4427
who shall reign
H3947
over you: he will take
H1121
your sons,
H7760
and appoint
H4818
them to him, for his chariots,
H6571
and to be his horsemen;
H7323
and they shall run
H6440
before
H4818
his chariots;
12
H7760
and he will appoint
H8269
them to him for captains
H505
of thousands,
H8269
and captains
H2572
of fifties;
H2790
and he will assign some to plow
H2758
his ground,
H7114
and to reap
H7105
his harvest,
H6213
and to make
H3627
his instruments
H4421
of war,
H3627
and the instruments
H7393
of his chariots.
13
H3947
He will take
H1323
your daughters
H7548
to be perfumers,
H2879
and to be cooks,
H644
and to be bakers.
14
H3947
He will take
H7704
your fields,
H3754
and your vineyards,
H2132
and your olive
H2896
groves, even their best,
H5414
and give
H5650
them to his servants.
15
H6237
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
He will take
H5650
your male servants,
H5650
and your female servants,
H2896
and your best
H970
young men,
H2543
and your donkeys,
H6213
and put
H4399
them to his work.
18
H2199
You shall cry out
H3117
in that day
H6440
because
H4428
of your king
H977
whom you shall have chosen
H3068
you; and Yahweh
H6030
will not answer
H3117
you in that day."
19
H5971
But the people
H3985
refused
H8085
to listen
H6963
to 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."
