@ And it came to pass, when
Samuel
was
old
, that he
made
his
sons
judges
over
Israel
.
strkjv@1Samuel:8:2
@ Now the
name
of his
firstborn
was
Joel
; and the
name
of his
second
,
Abiah
: they were
judges
in
Beersheba
B@er.
strkjv@1Samuel:8:3
@ And his
sons
walked
not in his
ways
, but turned
aside
after
lucre
, and
took
bribes
, and
perverted
judgment
.
strkjv@1Samuel:8:4
@ Then all the
elders
of
Israel
gathered themselves
together
, and
came
to
Samuel
unto
Ramah
,
strkjv@1Samuel:8:5
@ 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
.
strkjv@1Samuel:8:6
@ But the
thing
displeased
Samuel
Sh@, when they
said
,
Give
us a
king
to
judge
us. And
Samuel
prayed
unto the
LORD
.
strkjv@1Samuel:8:7
@ And the
LORD
said
unto
Samuel
Sh@,
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.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
, wherewith they have
forsaken
me, and
served
other
gods
, so
do
they also unto thee.
strkjv@1Samuel:8:9
@ 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.

Samuel
told

said
