1 Samuel 8:1-6

8:1

And it came to pass, when Samuel
<08050>

was old
<02204> (8804)_,

that he made
<07760> (8799)

his sons
<01121>

judges
<08199> (8802)

over Israel
<03478>_.

8:2

Now the name
<08034>

of his firstborn
<01121> <01060>

was Joel
<03100>_;

and the name
<08034>

of his second
<04932>_,

Abiah
<029>_:

[they were] judges
<08199> (8802)

in Beersheba
<0884>_.

8:3

And his sons
<01121>

walked
<01980> (8804)

not in his ways
<01870>_,

but turned aside
<05186> (8799)

after
<0310>

lucre
<01215>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

bribes
<07810>_,

and perverted
<05186> (8686)

judgment
<04941>_.

8:4

Then all the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

gathered themselves together
<06908> (8691)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Samuel
<08050>

unto Ramah
<07414>_,

8:5

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, thou art old
<02204> (8804)_,

and thy sons
<01121>

walk
<01980> (8804)

not in thy ways
<01870>_:

now make
<07760> (8798)

us a king
<04428>

to judge
<08199> (8800)

us like all the nations
<01471>_.

8:6

But the thing
<01697>

displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>

Samuel
<08050>_,

when they said
<0559> (8804)_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

us a king
<04428>

to judge
<08199> (8800)

us. And Samuel
<08050>

prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_.
