1 Samuel 8:1-22

And it came to pass, when Samuel
<08050>

was old
<02204> (8804)_,

that he made
<07760> (8799)

his sons
<01121>

judges
<08199> (8802)

over Israel
<03478>_.

Now the name
<08034>

of his firstborn
<01121> <01060>

was Joel
<03100>_;

and the name
<08034>

of his second
<04932>_,

Abiah
<029>_:

[they were] judges
<08199> (8802)

in Beersheba
<0884>_.

And his sons
<01121>

walked
<01980> (8804)

not in his ways
<01870>_,

but turned aside
<05186> (8799)

after
<0310>

lucre
<01215>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

bribes
<07810>_,

and perverted
<05186> (8686)

judgment
<04941>_.

Then all the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

gathered themselves together
<06908> (8691)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Samuel
<08050>

unto Ramah
<07414>_,

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, thou art old
<02204> (8804)_,

and thy sons
<01121>

walk
<01980> (8804)

not in thy ways
<01870>_:

now make
<07760> (8798)

us a king
<04428>

to judge
<08199> (8800)

us like all the nations
<01471>_.

But the thing
<01697>

displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>

Samuel
<08050>_,

when they said
<0559> (8804)_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

us a king
<04428>

to judge
<08199> (8800)

us. And Samuel
<08050>

prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

{displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of}

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto the voice
<06963>

of the people
<05971>

in all that they say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee: for they have not rejected
<03988> (8804)

thee, but they have rejected
<03988> (8804)

me, that I should not reign
<04427> (8800)

over them.

According to all the works
<04639>

which they have done
<06213> (8804)

since the day
<03117>

that I brought them up
<05927> (8687)

out of Egypt
<04714>

even unto this day
<03117>_,

wherewith they have forsaken
<05800> (8799)

me, and served
<05647> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

so do
<06213> (8802)

they also unto thee.

Now therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto their voice
<06963>_:

howbeit
<0389>

yet protest
<05749> (8686)

solemnly
<05749> (8687)

unto them, and shew
<05046> (8689)

them the manner
<04941>

of the king
<04428>

that shall reign
<04427> (8799)

over them. {hearken...: or, obey} {howbeit...: or, notwithstanding when thou hast solemnly protested against them then thou shalt}

And Samuel
<08050>

told
<0559> (8799)

all the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto the people
<05971>

that asked
<07592> (8802)

of him a king
<04428>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

This will be the manner
<04941>

of the king
<04428>

that shall reign
<04427> (8799)

over you: He will take
<03947> (8799)

your sons
<01121>_,

and appoint
<07760> (8804)

[them] for himself, for his chariots
<04818>_,

and [to be] his horsemen
<06571>_;

and [some] shall run
<07323> (8804)

before
<06440>

his chariots
<04818>_.

And he will appoint
<07760> (8800)

him captains
<08269>

over thousands
<0505>_,

and captains
<08269>

over fifties
<02572>_;

and [will set them] to ear
<02790> (8800)

his ground
<02758>_,

and to reap
<07114> (8800)

his harvest
<07105>_,

and to make
<06213> (8800)

his instruments
<03627>

of war
<04421>_,

and instruments
<03627>

of his chariots
<07393>_.

And he will take
<03947> (8799)

your daughters
<01323>

[to be] confectionaries
<07548>_,

and [to be] cooks
<02879>_,

and [to be] bakers
<0644> (8802)_.

And he will take
<03947> (8799)

your fields
<07704>_,

and your vineyards
<03754>_,

and your oliveyards
<02132>_,

[even] the best
<02896>

[of them], and give
<05414> (8804)

[them] to his servants
<05650>_.

And he will take the tenth
<06237> (8799)

of your seed
<02233>_,

and of your vineyards
<03754>_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

to his officers
<05631>_,

and to his servants
<05650>_.

{officers: Heb. eunuchs}

And he will take
<03947> (8799)

your menservants
<05650>_,

and your maidservants
<08198>_,

and your goodliest
<02896>

young men
<0970>_,

and your asses
<02543>_,

and put
<06213> (8804)

[them] to his work
<04399>_.

He will take the tenth
<06237> (8799)

of your sheep
<06629>_:

and ye shall be his servants
<05650>_.

And ye shall cry out
<02199> (8804)

in that day
<03117>

because
<06440>

of your king
<04428>

which ye shall have chosen
<0977> (8804)

you; and the LORD
<03068>

will not hear
<06030> (8799)

you in that day
<03117>_.

Nevertheless the people
<05971>

refused
<03985> (8762)

to obey
<08085> (8800)

the voice
<06963>

of Samuel
<08050>_;

and they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay; but we will have a king
<04428>

over us;

That we also may be like all the nations
<01471>_;

and that our king
<04428>

may judge
<08199> (8804)

us, and go out
<03318> (8804)

before
<06440>

us, and fight
<03898> (8738)

our battles
<04421>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

heard
<08085> (8799)

all the words
<01697>

of the people
<05971>_,

and he rehearsed
<01696> (8762)

them in the ears
<0241>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Samuel
<08050>_,

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto their voice
<06963>_,

and make
<04427> (8689)

them a king
<04428>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

ye every man
<0376>

unto his city
<05892>_.
