1 Samuel 8:5-22

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>_.

{displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of}

8:7

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.

8:8

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.

8:9

Now therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto their voice
<06963>_:

howbeit
<0389>

yet protest
<05749> (8686)

solemnly
<05749> (8687)

unto them, and shew
<05046> (8689)

them the manner
<04941>

of the king
<04428>

that shall reign
<04427> (8799)

over them. {hearken...: or, obey} {howbeit...: or, notwithstanding when thou hast solemnly protested against them then thou shalt}

8:10

And Samuel
<08050>

told
<0559> (8799)

all the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto the people
<05971>

that asked
<07592> (8802)

of him a king
<04428>_.

8:11

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

This will be the manner
<04941>

of the king
<04428>

that shall reign
<04427> (8799)

over you: He will take
<03947> (8799)

your sons
<01121>_,

and appoint
<07760> (8804)

[them] for himself, for his chariots
<04818>_,

and [to be] his horsemen
<06571>_;

and [some] shall run
<07323> (8804)

before
<06440>

his chariots
<04818>_.

8:12

And he will appoint
<07760> (8800)

him captains
<08269>

over thousands
<0505>_,

and captains
<08269>

over fifties
<02572>_;

and [will set them] to ear
<02790> (8800)

his ground
<02758>_,

and to reap
<07114> (8800)

his harvest
<07105>_,

and to make
<06213> (8800)

his instruments
<03627>

of war
<04421>_,

and instruments
<03627>

of his chariots
<07393>_.

8:13

And he will take
<03947> (8799)

your daughters
<01323>

[to be] confectionaries
<07548>_,

and [to be] cooks
<02879>_,

and [to be] bakers
<0644> (8802)_.

8:14

And he will take
<03947> (8799)

your fields
<07704>_,

and your vineyards
<03754>_,

and your oliveyards
<02132>_,

[even] the best
<02896>

[of them], and give
<05414> (8804)

[them] to his servants
<05650>_.

8:15

And he will take the tenth
<06237> (8799)

of your seed
<02233>_,

and of your vineyards
<03754>_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

to his officers
<05631>_,

and to his servants
<05650>_.

{officers: Heb. eunuchs}

8:16

And he will take
<03947> (8799)

your menservants
<05650>_,

and your maidservants
<08198>_,

and your goodliest
<02896>

young men
<0970>_,

and your asses
<02543>_,

and put
<06213> (8804)

[them] to his work
<04399>_.

8:17

He will take the tenth
<06237> (8799)

of your sheep
<06629>_:

and ye shall be his servants
<05650>_.

8:18

And ye shall cry out
<02199> (8804)

in that day
<03117>

because
<06440>

of your king
<04428>

which ye shall have chosen
<0977> (8804)

you; and the LORD
<03068>

will not hear
<06030> (8799)

you in that day
<03117>_.

8:19

Nevertheless the people
<05971>

refused
<03985> (8762)

to obey
<08085> (8800)

the voice
<06963>

of Samuel
<08050>_;

and they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay; but we will have a king
<04428>

over us;

8:20

That we also may be like all the nations
<01471>_;

and that our king
<04428>

may judge
<08199> (8804)

us, and go out
<03318> (8804)

before
<06440>

us, and fight
<03898> (8738)

our battles
<04421>_.

8:21

And Samuel
<08050>

heard
<08085> (8799)

all the words
<01697>

of the people
<05971>_,

and he rehearsed
<01696> (8762)

them in the ears
<0241>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

8:22

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Samuel
<08050>_,

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto their voice
<06963>_,

and make
<04427> (8689)

them a king
<04428>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

ye every man
<0376>

unto his city
<05892>_.

1 Samuel 12:12-19

12:12

And when ye saw
<07200> (8799)

that Nahash
<05176>

the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

came
<0935> (8804)

against you, ye said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Nay; but a king
<04428>

shall reign
<04427> (8799)

over us: when the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

[was] your king
<04428>_.

12:13

Now therefore behold the king
<04428>

whom ye have chosen
<0977> (8804)_,

[and] whom ye have desired
<07592> (8804)_!

and, behold, the LORD
<03068>

hath set
<05414> (8804)

a king
<04428>

over you.

12:14

If ye will fear
<03372> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and serve
<05647> (8804)

him, and obey
<08085> (8804)

his voice
<06963>_,

and not rebel
<04784> (8686)

against the commandment
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

then shall both ye and also the king
<04428>

that reigneth
<04427> (8804)

over you continue following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_:

{commandment: Heb. mouth} {continue...: Heb. be after}

12:15

But if ye will not obey
<08085> (8799)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

but rebel
<04784> (8804)

against the commandment
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

then shall the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

be against you, as [it was] against your fathers
<01>_.

12:16

Now therefore
<01571>

stand
<03320> (8690)

and see
<07200> (8798)

this great
<01419>

thing
<01697>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

will do
<06213> (8802)

before your eyes
<05869>_.

12:17

[Is it] not wheat
<02406>

harvest
<07105>

to day
<03117>_?

I will call
<07121> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and he shall send
<05414> (8799)

thunder
<06963>

and rain
<04306>_;

that ye may perceive
<03045> (8798)

and see
<07200> (8798)

that your wickedness
<07451>

[is] great
<07227>_,

which ye have done
<06213> (8804)

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

in asking
<07592> (8800)

you a king
<04428>_.

12:18

So Samuel
<08050>

called
<07121> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

sent
<05414> (8799)

thunder
<06963>

and rain
<04306>

that day
<03117>_:

and all the people
<05971>

greatly
<03966>

feared
<03372> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

and Samuel
<08050>_.

12:19

And all the people
<05971>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

Pray
<06419> (8690)

for thy servants
<05650>

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

that we die
<04191> (8799)

not: for we have added
<03254> (8804)

unto all our sins
<02403>

[this] evil
<07451>_,

to ask
<07592> (8800)

us a king
<04428>_.
