| 1 Samuel 8:1 |
|
And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that
he made his sons judges over Israel. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:2 |
|
Now the name of his first-born was Joel; and
the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beer-sheba. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:3 |
|
And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned
aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:4 |
|
Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves
together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah; |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:5 |
|
and they said unto him, Behold, thou art old,
and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the
nations. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:6 |
|
But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said,
Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:7 |
|
And Jehovah said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the
voice of the people in all that they say unto thee; for they have not rejected
thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not be king over them. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:8 |
|
According to all the works which they have done
since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, in that
they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:9 |
|
Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit
thou shalt protest solemnly unto them, and shalt show them the manner of the king
that shall reign over them. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:10 |
|
And Samuel told all the words of Jehovah unto
the people that asked of him a king. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:11 |
|
And he said, This will be the manner of the
king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them unto
him, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots;
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:12 |
|
and he will appoint them unto him for captains
of thousands, and captains of fifties; and he will set some to plow his ground,
and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments
of his chariots. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:13 |
|
And he will take your daughters to be perfumers,
and to be cooks, and to be bakers. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:14 |
|
And he will take your fields, and your vineyards,
and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:15 |
|
And he will take the tenth of your seed, and
of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:16 |
|
And he will take your men-servants, and your
maid-servants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his
work. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:17 |
|
He will take the tenth of your flocks: and ye
shall be his servants. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:18 |
|
And ye shall cry out in that day because of
your king whom ye shall have chosen you; and Jehovah will not answer you in that
day. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:19 |
|
But the people refused to hearken unto the voice
of Samuel; and they said, Nay: but we will have a king over us, |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:20 |
|
that we also may be like all the nations, and
that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:21 |
|
And Samuel heard all the words of the people,
and he rehearsed them in the ears of Jehovah. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 8:22 |
|
And Jehovah said to Samuel, Hearken unto their
voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every
man unto his city. |
