1 Samuel 8:1-8

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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
Then all the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>
gathered themselves together
<06908> (8691)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Samuel
<08050>
unto Ramah
<07414>_,
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>_.
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>_.
{displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto the voice
<06963>
of the people
<05971>
in all that they say
<0559> (8799)
unto thee: for they have not rejected
<03988> (8804)
thee, but they have rejected
<03988> (8804)
me, that I should not reign
<04427> (8800)
over them.
According to all the works
<04639>
which they have done
<06213> (8804)
since the day
<03117>
that I brought them up
<05927> (8687)
out of Egypt
<04714>
even unto this day
<03117>_,
wherewith they have forsaken
<05800> (8799)
me, and served
<05647> (8799)
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
so do
<06213> (8802)
they also unto thee.
