1 Samuel

  • Israel Demands a King

  • |1 Samuel 8:1| When Samuel became old, a he made his sons judges over Israel.

  • |1 Samuel 8:2| The name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba.

  • |1 Samuel 8:3| Yet his sons did not walk in his ways b but turned aside after gain. c They took bribes and perverted justice.

  • |1 Samuel 8:4| Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at d Ramah

  • |1 Samuel 8:5| and said to him, “Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. e Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations.”

  • |1 Samuel 8:6| But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the LORD.

  • |1 Samuel 8:7| And the LORD said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, f for they have not rejected you, g but they have rejected me from being king over them.

  • |1 Samuel 8:8| According to all the deeds that they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you.

  • |1 Samuel 8:9| Now then, obey their voice; only you shall solemnly warn them h and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them.”
  • Samuel's Warning Against Kings

  • |1 Samuel 8:10| So Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking for a king from him.
