And it came to pass, when Samuel
H2204
was old
[H8804]
H7760
, that he made
[H8799]
H1121
his sons
H8199
judges
[H8802]
H3478
over Israel.
2
H8034
Now the name
H1121
of his firstborn
H1060
H3100
was Joel
H8034
; and the name
H4932
of his second
H29
, Abiah
H8199
: they were judges
[H8802]
H884
in Beersheba.
3
H1121
And his sons
H1980
walked
[H8804]
H1870
not in his ways
H5186
, but turned aside
[H8799]
H310
after
H1215
lucre
H3947
, and took
[H8799]
H7810
bribes
H5186
, and perverted
[H8686]
H4941
judgment.
4
H2205
Then all the elders
H3478
of Israel
H6908
gathered themselves together
[H8691]
H935
, and came
[H8799]
H8050
to Samuel
H7414
unto Ramah,
5
H559
And said
[H8799]
H2204
unto him, Behold, thou art old
[H8804]
H1121
, and thy sons
H1980
walk
[H8804]
H1870
not in thy ways
H7760
: now make
[H8798]
H4428
us a king
H8199
to judge
[H8800]
H1471
us like all the nations.
6
H1697
But the thing
H3415
displeased
[H8799]
H5869
H8050
Samuel
H559
, when they said
[H8804]
H5414
, Give
[H8798]
H4428
us a king
H8199
to judge
[H8800]
H8050
us. And Samuel
H6419
prayed
[H8691]
H3068
unto the LORD.
7
H3068
And the LORD
H559
said
[H8799]
H8050
unto Samuel
H8085
, Hearken
[H8798]
H6963
unto the voice
H5971
of the people
H559
in all that they say
[H8799]
H3988
unto thee: for they have not rejected
[H8804]
H3988
thee, but they have rejected
[H8804]
H4427
me, that I should not reign
[H8800]
over them.
8
H4639
According to all the works
H6213
which they have done
[H8804]
H3117
since the day
H5927
that I brought them up
[H8687]
H4714
out of Egypt
H3117
even unto this day
H5800
, wherewith they have forsaken
[H8799]
H5647
me, and served
[H8799]
H312
other
H430
gods
H6213
, so do
[H8802]
they also unto thee.
9
H8085
Now therefore hearken
[H8798]
H6963
unto their voice
H389
: howbeit
H5749
yet protest
[H8686]
H5749
solemnly
[H8687]
H5046
unto them, and shew
[H8689]
H4941
them the manner
H4428
of the king
H4427
that shall reign
[H8799]
over them.
10
H8050
And Samuel
H559
told
[H8799]
H1697
all the words
H3068
of the LORD
H5971
unto the people
H7592
that asked
[H8802]
H4428
of him a king.
11
H559
And he said
[H8799]
H4941
, This will be the manner
H4428
of the king
H4427
that shall reign
[H8799]
H3947
over you: He will take
[H8799]
H1121
your sons
H7760
, and appoint
[H8804]
H4818
them for himself, for his chariots
H6571
, and to be his horsemen
H7323
; and some shall run
[H8804]
H6440
before
H4818
his chariots.
12
H7760
And he will appoint
[H8800]
H8269
him captains
H505
over thousands
H8269
, and captains
H2572
over fifties
H2790
; and will set them to ear
[H8800]
H2758
his ground
H7114
, and to reap
[H8800]
H7105
his harvest
H6213
, and to make
[H8800]
H3627
his instruments
H4421
of war
H3627
, and instruments
H7393
of his chariots.
13
H3947
And he will take
[H8799]
H1323
your daughters
H7548
to be confectionaries
H2879
, and to be cooks
H644
, and to be bakers
[H8802]
.
14
H3947
And he will take
[H8799]
H7704
your fields
H3754
, and your vineyards
H2132
, and your oliveyards
H2896
, even the best
H5414
of them, and give
[H8804]
H5650
them to his servants.
15
H6237
And he will take the tenth
[H8799]
H2233
of your seed
H3754
, and of your vineyards
H5414
, and give
[H8804]
H5631
to his officers
H5650
, and to his servants.
16
H3947
And he will take
[H8799]
H5650
your menservants
H8198
, and your maidservants
H2896
, and your goodliest
H970
young men
H2543
, and your asses
H6213
, and put
[H8804]
H4399
them to his work.
18
H2199
And ye shall cry out
[H8804]
H3117
in that day
H6440
because
H4428
of your king
H977
which ye shall have chosen
[H8804]
H3068
you; and the LORD
H6030
will not hear
[H8799]
H3117
you in that day.
19
H5971
Nevertheless the people
H3985
refused
[H8762]
H8085
to obey
[H8800]
H6963
the voice
H8050
of Samuel
H559
; and they said
[H8799]
H4428
, Nay; 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
[H8804]
H3318
us, and go out
[H8804]
H6440
before
H3898
us, and fight
[H8738]
H4421
our battles.
