1Samuel 8




updv@1Samuel:8:1 @ And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.

updv@1Samuel:8:2 @ Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.

updv@1Samuel:8:3 @ And his sons didn't walk in his ways, but turned aside after greed for monetary gain, and took bribes, and perverted justice.

updv@1Samuel:8:4 @ Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah;

updv@1Samuel:8:5 @ and they said to him, Look, you are old, and your sons don't walk in your ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.

updv@1Samuel:8:6 @ But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to Yahweh.

updv@1Samuel:8:7 @ And Yahweh said to Samuel, Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they haven't rejected you, but they have rejected me, that I should not be king over them.

updv@1Samuel:8:8 @ According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so they also do to you.

updv@1Samuel:8:9 @ Now therefore listen to their voice: nevertheless you will protest solemnly to them, and will show them the manner of the king who will reign over them.

updv@1Samuel:8:10 @ And Samuel told all the words of Yahweh to the people who asked of him a king.

updv@1Samuel:8:11 @ And he said, This will be the manner of the king who will reign over you(note:){+}(:note): he will take your{+} sons, and appoint them to him, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they will run before his chariots;

updv@1Samuel:8:12 @ and he will appoint them to himself 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.

updv@1Samuel:8:13 @ And he will take your(note:){+}(:note) daughters to be perfumers, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.

updv@1Samuel:8:14 @ And he will take your(note:){+}(:note) fields, and your{+} vineyards, and your{+} oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his slaves.

updv@1Samuel:8:15 @ And he will take the tenth of your(note:){+}(:note) seed, and of your{+} vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his slaves.

updv@1Samuel:8:16 @ And he will take your(note:){+}(:note) male slaves, and your{+} female slaves, and your{+} goodliest young men, and your{+} donkeys, and put them to his work.

updv@1Samuel:8:17 @ He will take the tenth of your(note:){+}(:note) flocks: and you{+} will be his slaves.

updv@1Samuel:8:18 @ And you(note:){+}(:note) will cry out in that day because of your{+} king whom you{+} will have chosen you{+}; and Yahweh will not answer you{+} in that day.

updv@1Samuel:8:19 @ But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No: but we will have a king over us,

updv@1Samuel: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.

updv@1Samuel:8:21 @ And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of Yahweh.

updv@1Samuel:8:22 @ And Yahweh said to Samuel, Listen to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go(note:){+}(:note) every man to his city.
