1
And it
came
to pass, when Samuel
was old
,
that he made
his sons
judges
over Israel
.
2
Now the name
of his firstborn
was Joel
;
and the name
of his second
,
Abiah
:
they were
judges
in Beersheba
.
3
And his sons
walked
not in his ways,
but turned aside
after
lucre
,
and took
bribes
,
and perverted
judgment
.
4
Then
all
the elders
of Israel
gathered themselves together
,
and came
to Samuel
unto Ramah
,
5
And 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
.
6
But the thing
displeased
Samuel
,
when they said
,
Give
us a king
to judge
us. And
Samuel
prayed
unto the LORD
.
7
And the LORD
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
reign
over
them.
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
,
wherewith they have forsaken
me, and served
other
gods
,
so do
they
also
unto thee.
9
Now
therefore hearken
unto their voice
:
howbeit
yet protest
solemnly
unto them, and shew
them the manner
of the king
that shall reign
over
them.
10
And Samuel
told
all
the words
of the LORD
unto the people
that asked
of him a king
.
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
for himself, for
his chariots
,
and
to be
his horsemen
;
and
some
shall run
before
his chariots
.
12
And he will appoint
him captains
over thousands
, and captains
over fifties
;
and
will set them
to ear
his ground
,
and to reap
his harvest
,
and to make
his instruments
of war
,
and instruments
of his chariots
.
13
And he will take
your daughters
to be
confectionaries
,
and
to be
cooks
,
and
to be
bakers
.
14
And he will take
your fields
,
and your vineyards
,
and your oliveyards
,
even
the best
of them
, and give
them
to his servants
.
15
And he will take the tenth
of your seed
,
and of your vineyards
,
and give
to his officers
,
and to his servants
.
16
And he will take
your menservants
,
and your maidservants
,
and your goodliest
young men
,
and your asses
,
and put
them
to his work
.
17
He will take the tenth
of your sheep
:
and ye shall be his servants
.
18
And ye shall cry out
in that day
because
of your king
which ye shall have chosen
you; and the LORD
will not hear
you
in that day
.
19
Nevertheless the people
refused
to obey
the voice
of Samuel
;
and they said
, Nay; but we will have a king
over
us;
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
.
21
And Samuel
heard
all
the words
of the people
,
and he rehearsed
them in the ears
of the LORD
.
22
And the LORD
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
.
