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