1 Samuel 8:1 (NIV) New International Version

1 When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as judges for Israel.
2 The name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abijah, and they served at Beersheba.
3 But his sons did not walk in his ways. They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice.
4 So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.
5 They said to him, "You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have."
6 But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD.
7 And the LORD told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.
8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you.
9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do."
10 Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king.
11 He said, "This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots.
12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plough his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.
13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.
14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants.
15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants.
16 Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use.
17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.
18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day."
19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. "No!" they said. "We want a king over us.
20 Then we shall be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles."
21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD.
22 The LORD answered, "Listen to them and give them a king." Then Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Everyone is to go back to his town."
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 .

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 .
