| [1]AND it came to pass, when Samuel was old, he made his sons judges over Israel. |
[1]And it came to pass, when SamuelH8050 was oldH2204[H8804], that he madeH7760[H8799] his sonsH1121 judgesH8199[H8802] over IsraelH3478. |
| [2]Now the name of his first-born son was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah; they were judges in Beer-sheba. |
[2]Now the nameH8034 of his firstbornH1121[H1060] was JoelH3100; and the nameH8034 of his secondH4932, AbiahH29: they were judgesH8199[H8802] in BeershebaH884. |
| [3]But his sons did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes and perverted judgment |
[3]And his sonsH1121 walkedH1980[H8804] not in his waysH1870, but turned asideH5186[H8799] afterH310 lucreH1215, and tookH3947[H8799] bribesH7810, and pervertedH5186[H8686] judgmentH4941. |
| [4]Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel to Ramtha, |
[4]Then all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6908[H8691], and cameH935[H8799] to SamuelH8050 unto RamahH7414, |
| [5]And they said to him, Behold, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now give us a king to judge us like all the nations. |
[5]And saidH559[H8799] unto him, Behold, thou art oldH2204[H8804], and thy sonsH1121 walkH1980[H8804] not in thy waysH1870: now makeH7760[H8798] us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199[H8800] us like all the nationsH1471. |
| [6]But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said to him, Give us a king to judge us like all the nations. And Samuel prayed before the LORD. |
[6]But the thingH1697 displeasedH3415[H8799][H5869] SamuelH8050, when they saidH559[H8804], GiveH5414[H8798] us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199[H8800] us. And SamuelH8050 prayedH6419[H8691] unto the LORDH3068. |
| [7]And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. |
[7]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto SamuelH8050, HearkenH8085[H8798] unto the voiceH6963 of the peopleH5971 in all that they sayH559[H8799] unto thee: for they have not rejectedH3988[H8804] thee, but they have rejectedH3988[H8804] me, that I should not reignH4427 over themH8800. |
| [8]According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt even to this day, as they have forsaken me and served other gods, so do they also to you. |
[8]According to all the worksH4639 which they have doneH6213[H8804] since the dayH3117 that I brought them upH5927[H8687] out of EgyptH4714 even unto this dayH3117, wherewith they have forsakenH5800[H8799] me, and servedH5647[H8799] otherH312 godsH430, so doH6213 they also unto theeH8802. |
| [9]Now therefore hearken to their voice; but testify solemnly to them, and show them the law of the king who shall reign over them. |
[9]Now therefore hearkenH8085[H8798] unto their voiceH6963: howbeitH389 yet protestH5749[H8686] solemnlyH5749[H8687] unto them, and shewH5046[H8689] them the mannerH4941 of the kingH4428 that shall reignH4427 over themH8799. |
| [10]And Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who asked of him a king. |
[10]And SamuelH8050 toldH559[H8799] all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto the peopleH5971 that askedH7592[H8802] of him a kingH4428. |
| [11]Then he said, This will be the law of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them for himself for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots. |
[11]And he saidH559[H8799], This will be the mannerH4941 of the kingH4428 that shall reignH4427[H8799] over you: He will takeH3947[H8799] your sonsH1121, and appointH7760[H8804] them for himself, for his chariotsH4818, and to be his horsemenH6571; and some shall runH7323[H8804] beforeH6440 his chariotsH4818. |
| [12]And he will appoint for himself officers of thousands and officers of hundreds and officers of fifties and officers of tens. And they shall plow his ground and reap his harvest and make his implements of war and instruments for his chariots. |
[12]And he will appointH7760[H8800] him captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over fiftiesH2572; and will set them to earH2790[H8800] his groundH2758, and to reapH7114[H8800] his harvestH7105, and to makeH6213[H8800] his instrumentsH3627 of warH4421, and instrumentsH3627 of his chariotsH7393. |
| [13]And he will take your daughters to be weavers and grinders and bakers. |
[13]And he will takeH3947[H8799] your daughtersH1323 to be confectionariesH7548, and to be cooksH2879, and to be bakersH644.[H8802] |
| [14]And he will take the best of your fields and your vineyards and your oliveyards, and give them to his servants. |
[14]And he will takeH3947[H8799] your fieldsH7704, and your vineyardsH3754, and your oliveyardsH2132, even the bestH2896 of them, and giveH5414[H8804] them to his servantsH5650. |
| [15]And he will take the tenth of your crops and of your vineyards, and give to his officers and to his servants. |
[15]And he will take the tenthH6237[H8799] of your seedH2233, and of your vineyardsH3754, and giveH5414[H8804] to his officersH5631, and to his servantsH5650. |
| [16]And he will take your menservants and your maidservants, and your goodly young men and your asses, and put them to his work. |
[16]And he will takeH3947[H8799] your menservantsH5650, and your maidservantsH8198, and your goodliestH2896 young menH970, and your assesH2543, and putH6213[H8804] them to his workH4399. |
| [17]He will take the tenth of your sheep; and you shall be his servants. |
[17]He will take the tenthH6237[H8799] of your sheepH6629: and ye shall be his servantsH5650. |
| [18]And you shall cry for help in that day because of your king whom you shall have chosen for yourselves; and the LORD will not answer you on that day. |
[18]And ye shall cry outH2199[H8804] in that dayH3117 becauseH6440 of your kingH4428 which ye shall have chosenH977[H8804] you; and the LORDH3068 will not hearH6030[H8799] you in that dayH3117. |
| [19]Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said to him, No; but we will have a king over us, |
[19]Nevertheless the peopleH5971 refusedH3985[H8762] to obeyH8085[H8800] the voiceH6963 of SamuelH8050; and they saidH559[H8799], Nay; but we will have a king over usH4428; |
| [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. |
[20]That we also may be like all the nationsH1471; and that our kingH4428 may judgeH8199[H8804] us, and go outH3318[H8804] beforeH6440 us, and fightH3898[H8738] our battlesH4421. |
| [21]And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he repeated them before the LORD. |
[21]And SamuelH8050 heardH8085[H8799] all the wordsH1697 of the peopleH5971, and he rehearsedH1696[H8762] them in the earsH241 of the LORDH3068. |
| [22]And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go every man to his city |
[22]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] to SamuelH8050, HearkenH8085[H8798] unto their voiceH6963, and makeH4427[H8689] them a kingH4428. And SamuelH8050 saidH559[H8799] unto the menH582 of IsraelH3478, GoH3212[H8798] ye every manH376 unto his cityH5892. |
