1 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when H834 K-RPRO Samuel H8050 was old H2204 , that he made H7760 W-VQY3MS his sons H1121 CMP-3MS judges H8199 over Israel H3478 .
2 Now the name H8034 of his firstborn H1060 was H1961 W-VQY3MS Joel H3100 ; and the name H8034 W-CMS of his second H4932 , Abiah H29 : they were judges H8199 in Beer H884 - sheba .
3 And his sons H1121 CMP-3MS walked H1980 VQQ3MP not H3808 W-NPAR in his ways H1870 , but turned aside H5186 after H310 PREP lucre H1215 , and took H3947 W-VQY3MP bribes H7810 , and perverted H5186 judgment H4941 NMS .
4 Then all H3605 NMS the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 gathered themselves together H6908 , and came H935 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP Samuel H8050 unto Ramah H7414 ,
5 And said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Behold H2009 IJEC , thou H859 PPRO-2MS art old H2204 , and thy sons H1121 W-CMP-2MS walk H1980 VQQ3MP not H3808 NADV in thy ways H1870 : now H6258 ADV make H7760 VQI2MS-3FS us a king H4428 NMS to judge H8199 us like all H3605 the nations H1471 .
6 But the thing H1697 D-NMS displeased H5869 B-CMP Samuel H8050 , when H834 K-RPRO they said H559 VQQ3MP , Give H5414 us a king H4428 NMS to judge H8199 us . And Samuel H8050 prayed H6419 W-VTY3MS unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
7 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Samuel H8050 , Hearken H8085 VQI2MS unto the voice H6963 B-NMS of the people H5971 in all H3605 that H834 RPRO they say H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP thee : for H3588 CONJ they have not H3808 NADV rejected H3988 thee , but H3588 CONJ they have rejected H3988 VQQ3MP me , that I should not reign H4427 M-VQFC over H5921 PREP-3MP them .
8 According to all H3605 the works H4639 which H834 RPRO they have done H6213 VQQ3MP since the day H3117 M-NMS that I brought them up H5927 out of Egypt H4714 M-TFS even unto H5704 W-PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 M-NMS , wherewith they have forsaken H5800 me , and served H5647 other H312 AMP gods H430 EDP , so H3651 ADV do H6213 they H1992 PPRO-3MP also H1571 CONJ unto thee .
9 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore hearken H8085 VQI2MS unto their voice H6963 : howbeit H389 ADV yet H3588 CONJ protest solemnly H5749 unto them , and show H5046 them the manner H4941 CMS of the king H4428 D-NMS that H834 RPRO shall reign H4427 over H5921 PREP-3MP them .
10 And Samuel H8050 told H559 W-VQY3MS all H3605 NMS the words H1697 CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS unto H413 PREP the people H5971 that asked H7592 of him a king H4428 NMS .
11 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , This H2088 DPRO will be H1961 VQY3MS the manner H4941 CMS of the king H4428 D-NMS that H834 RPRO shall reign H4427 over H5921 PREP-2MP you : He will take H3947 your sons H1121 , and appoint H7760 them for himself , for his chariots H4818 , and to be his horsemen H6571 ; and some shall run H7323 before H6440 L-CMP his chariots H4818 .
12 And he will appoint H7760 him captains H8269 CMP over thousands H505 MMP , and captains H8269 over fifties H2572 MMP ; and will set them to ear H2790 his ground H2758 , and to reap H7114 his harvest H7105 CMS-3MS , and to make H6213 his instruments H3627 of war H4421 , and instruments H3627 of his chariots H7393 .
13 And he will take H3947 your daughters H1323 to be confectionaries H7548 , and to be cooks H2879 , and to be bakers H644 .
14 And he will take H3947 your fields H7704 , and your vineyards H3754 , and your oliveyards H2132 , even the best H2896 of them , and give H5414 W-VQQ3MS them to his servants H5650 .
15 And he will take the tenth H6237 of your seed H2233 , and of your vineyards H3754 , and give H5414 W-VQQ3MS to his officers H5631 , and to his servants H5650 .
16 And he will take H3947 your menservants H5650 , and your maidservants H8198 , and your goodliest H2896 young men H970 , and your asses H2543 , and put H6213 W-VQQ3MS them to his work H4399 .
17 He will take the tenth H6237 of your sheep H6629 : and ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP shall be H1961 his servants H5650 .
18 And ye shall cry out H2199 in that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS because H6440 ML-CMP of your king H4428 which H834 RPRO ye shall have chosen H977 you ; and the LORD H3068 EDS will not H3808 W-NPAR hear H6030 VQY3MS you in that H1931 day H3117 B-AMS .
19 Nevertheless the people H5971 refused H3985 to obey H8085 the voice H6963 B-NMS of Samuel H8050 ; and they said H559 W-VQY3MP , Nay H3808 NPAR ; but H518 PART we will have H1961 VQY3MS a king H4428 NMS over H5921 us ;
20 That we H587 PPRO-1MP also H1571 CONJ may be H1961 like all H3605 the nations H1471 D-NMP ; and that our king H4428 may judge H8199 us , and go out H3318 before H6440 us , and fight H3898 our battles H4421 .
21 And Samuel H8050 heard H8085 all H3605 NMS the words H1697 CMP of the people H5971 , and he rehearsed H1696 them in the ears H241 of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
22 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Samuel H8050 , Hearken H8085 VQI2MS unto their voice H6963 , and make them a king H4427 . And Samuel H8050 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the men H376 NMS of Israel H3478 , Go H1980 VQI2MP ye every man H376 NMS unto his city H5892 .
