And it came to pass as Samuel grew old, that he placed his sons as magistrates in Israel.
And these are the names of his sons. The first-born and of the second Abiah, magistrates in Beer-sheba.
And did not in his way. And they turned aside after the contribution, and they took bribes, and turned aside ordinances.
And gathered together and they came to Samuel into Ramah.
And they said to him, Behold, you grow old, and your sons do not go in your way. And now place over us a king to adjudicate for us as all the nations!
And was in of Samuel, as they said, Give to us a king to adjudicate for us! And Samuel prayed to
And to Samuel, Hearken to the voice of the people! as whatever they should speak to you, for you they treat with contempt, but only me they treat with contempt, to not reign over them.
According to all the works which they did to me, from which day I led them from Egypt, and until this day; even as they abandoned me, and served other gods, so they do also to you.
And now hearken their voice! Only that in testifying you should testify to them, and you shall report to them the ordinance of the king, which shall reign over them.
And Samuel spoke all the words of the to the people, of the ones asking of him for a king.
And he said, This will be the ordinance of the king, of the one reigning over you. Your sons he shall take and put them in his chariots and among his horsemen, and they shall run in front of his chariots.
And he will appoint them for himself as commanders of thousands, and commanders of hundreds, to plow his plowing, and to harvest his harvest, and to gather the vintage of his gathering the crops, and to make items for his warfare, and items for his chariots.
And your daughters he will take for perfumers, and for cooks, and for baking.
And your fields, and your vineyards, and olive groves he will take and will give his servants.
And your seeds he will take a tenth, and of your vineyards, and he will give his eunuchs, and his servants.
And your menservants, and your maidservants, and herds and your donkeys he shall take; and he will take a tenth for his works.
And of your flocks And you will be to him for servants.
And you shall yell in that day before of your king, of which you chose for yourselves; and will not heed you in those days.
And willed not to hearken to the voice of Samuel. And they said to him, Not so, but let it be that a king will be over us.
And will be as all the nations. And shall adjudicate and he shall go forth in front of us, and he will wage our war.
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he spoke them into the ears of the lord.
And to Samuel, Hearken their voice, and let reign And Samuel said to of Israel, Let run to his city!
