1: And it came to pass,H1961 whenH0834 was old,H2204 SamuelH8050 that he madeH7760 -H0853 his sonsH1121 judgesH8199 over Israel.H3478
2: And wasH1961 the nameH8034 of sonH1121 his firstbornH1060 Joel-H3100 and the nameH8034 of his second,H4932 Abijah-H0029 [they were] judgesH8199 Beersheba.H0884
3: But notH3808 did walkH1980 his sonsH1121 in his ways,H1870 and they turned asideH5186 afterH0310 dishonest gain,H1215 and tookH3947 bribes,H7810 and pervertedH5186 justice.H4941
4: And gathered together,H6908 allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 and cameH0935 toH0413 SamuelH8050 at Ramah,H7414
5: and saidH0559 to himH0413 Look,H2009 youH0859 are old,H2204 and your sonsH1121 notH3808 do walkH1980 in your ways.H1870 NowH6258 makeH7760 a kingH4428 to judge usH8199 like allH3605 the nations.H1471
6: But displeasedH7489 the thingH1697 the eyesH5869 of Samuel,H8050 whenH0834 they said,H0559 GiveH5414 a kingH4428 to judge usH8199 so prayedH6419 SamuelH8050 toH0413 Yahweh.H3068
7: And saidH0559 YahwehH3068 toH0413 Samuel,H8050 HeedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the peopleH5971 in allH3605 thatH0834 they sayH0559 to youH0413 forH3588 notH3808 youH0853 they have rejectedH3988 butH3588 MeH0853 they have rejectedH3988 that I should not reignH4427 over them.H5921
8: According to allH3605 the worksH4639 whichH0834 they have doneH6213 since the dayH3117 that I brought upH5927 themH0853 out of EgyptH4714 and even toH5704 day,H3117 thisH2088 and with which they have forsaken MeH5800 and servedH5647 gods,H0430 otherH0312 soH3651 theyH1992 are doingH6213 alsoH1571
9: Now thereforeH6258 heedH8085 their voice-H6963 HoweverH0389 yetH3588 solemnlyH5749 you shall forewarnH5749 and showH5046 the behaviorH4941 of the kingH4428 whoH0834 will reignH4427 over them.H5921
10: So toldH0559 SamuelH8050 -H0853 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of YahwehH3068 toH0413 the peopleH5971 who askedH7592 for himH0853 a king.H4428
11: And he said,H0559 thisH2088 will beH1961 the behaviorH4941 of the kingH4428 whoH0834 will reignH4427 over youH5921 -H0853 your sons,H1121 He will takeH3947 and appoint [them]H7760 his own chariots,H4818 and [to be] his horsemen-H6571 and [some] will runH7323 beforeH6440 his chariots.H4818
12: And He will appointH7760 captains overH8269 [his] thousands,H0505 and captains overH8269 [his] fifty-H2572 and [will set some] to plowH2790 his ground,H2758 and reapH7114 his harvest,H7105 and [some] to makeH6213 his weaponsH3627 of war,H4421 and equipment forH3627 his chariots.H7393
13: AndH0853 your daughtersH1323 He will takeH3947 [to [be] perfumers,H7548 and cooks,H2879 and bakers.H0644
14: AndH0853 your fields,H7704 andH0853 your vineyards,H3754 and your olive groves,H2132 the bestH2896 of he will takeH3947 and giveH5414 [them] to his servants.H5650
15: And your grain,H2233 and your vintage,H3754 He will take a tenthH6237 and give itH5414 to his officers,H5631 and servants.H5650
16: AndH0853 your menservants,H5650 andH0853 your maidservants,H8198 andH0853 your young men,H0970 finestH2896 andH0853 your donkeys,H2543 he will takeH3947 and put [them]H6213 to his work.H4399
17: Your sheep,H6629 He will take a tenthH6237 and youH0859 will beH1961 slaves.H5650
18: And you will cry outH2199 in dayH3117 thatH1931 becauseH6440 of your kingH4428 whomH0834 you have chosenH0977 and notH3808 will hearH6030 YahwehH3068 youH0853 in dayH3117 that.H1931
19: And nevertheless refusedH3985 the peopleH5971 to obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of Samuel-H8050 and they said,H0559 No-H3808 forH3588 butH0518 a kingH4428 we will haveH1961 over us.H5921
20: That may beH1961 alsoH1571 weH0587 like allH3605 the nations-H1471 that may judge usH8199 our kingH4428 and go outH3318 before usH6440 and fightH3898 -H0853 our battles.H4421
21: And heardH8085 SamuelH8050 -H0853 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the people,H5971 and he repeated themH1696 in the hearingH0241 of Yahweh.H3068
22: So saidH0559 YahwehH3068 toH0413 Samuel,H8050 HeedH8085 their voice,H6963 and makeH4427 a king.H4428 And saidH0559 SamuelH8050 toH0413 the menH0376 of Israel,H3478 goH1980 every manH0376 to his city.H5892
