And it came to pass, when SamuelH8050 was oldH2204, that he madeH7760 his sonsH1121 judgesH8199 over IsraelH3478.
Now the nameH8034 of his firstbornH1121+H1060 was JoelH3100; and the nameH8034 of his secondH4932, AbiahH29: they were judgesH8199 in BeershebaH884.
And his sonsH1121 walkedH1980 not in his waysH1870, but turned asideH5186 afterH310 lucreH1215, and tookH3947 bribesH7810, and pervertedH5186 judgmentH4941.
Then all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6908, and cameH935 to SamuelH8050 unto RamahH7414,
And saidH559 unto him, Behold, thou art oldH2204, and thy sonsH1121 walkH1980 not in thy waysH1870: now makeH7760 us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 us like all the nationsH1471.
But the thingH1697 displeasedH3415+H5869 SamuelH8050, when they saidH559, GiveH5414 us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 us. And SamuelH8050 prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068. {displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, HearkenH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of the peopleH5971 in all that they sayH559 unto thee: for they have not rejectedH3988 thee, but they have rejectedH3988 me, that I should not reignH4427 over them.
According to all the worksH4639 which they have doneH6213 since the dayH3117 that I brought them upH5927 out of EgyptH4714 even unto this dayH3117, wherewith they have forsakenH5800 me, and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, so doH6213 they also unto thee.
Now therefore hearkenH8085 unto their voiceH6963: howbeitH389 yet protestH5749 solemnlyH5749 unto them, and shewH5046 them the mannerH4941 of the kingH4428 that shall reignH4427 over them. {hearken…: or, obey} {howbeit…: or, notwithstanding when thou hast solemnly protested against them then thou shalt}
And SamuelH8050 toldH559 all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto the peopleH5971 that askedH7592 of him a kingH4428.
And he saidH559, This will be the mannerH4941 of the kingH4428 that shall reignH4427 over you: He will takeH3947 your sonsH1121, and appointH7760 them for himself, for his chariotsH4818, and to be his horsemenH6571; and some shall runH7323 beforeH6440 his chariotsH4818.
And he will appointH7760 him captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over fiftiesH2572; and will set them to earH2790 his groundH2758, and to reapH7114 his harvestH7105, and to makeH6213 his instrumentsH3627 of warH4421, and instrumentsH3627 of his chariotsH7393.
And he will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to be confectionariesH7548, and to be cooksH2879, and to be bakersH644.
And he will takeH3947 your fieldsH7704, and your vineyardsH3754, and your oliveyardsH2132, even the bestH2896 of them, and giveH5414 them to his servantsH5650.
And he will take the tenthH6237 of your seedH2233, and of your vineyardsH3754, and giveH5414 to his officersH5631, and to his servantsH5650. {officers: Heb. eunuchs}
And he will takeH3947 your menservantsH5650, and your maidservantsH8198, and your goodliestH2896 young menH970, and your assesH2543, and putH6213 them to his workH4399.
He will take the tenthH6237 of your sheepH6629: and ye shall be his servantsH5650.
And ye shall cry outH2199 in that dayH3117 becauseH6440 of your kingH4428 which ye shall have chosenH977 you; and the LORDH3068 will not hearH6030 you in that dayH3117.
Nevertheless the peopleH5971 refusedH3985 to obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of SamuelH8050; and they saidH559, Nay; but we will have a kingH4428 over us;
That we also may be like all the nationsH1471; and that our kingH4428 may judgeH8199 us, and go outH3318 beforeH6440 us, and fightH3898 our battlesH4421.
And SamuelH8050 heardH8085 all the wordsH1697 of the peopleH5971, and he rehearsedH1696 them in the earsH241 of the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, HearkenH8085 unto their voiceH6963, and makeH4427 them a kingH4428. And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the menH582 of IsraelH3478, GoH3212 ye every manH376 unto his cityH5892.

And they saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Because there were no gravesH6913 in EgyptH4714, hast thou taken us awayH3947 to dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057? whereforeH2063 hast thou dealtH6213 thus with us, to carry us forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714?
Is not this the wordH1697 that we did tellH1696 thee in EgyptH4714, sayingH559, Let us aloneH2308, that we may serveH5647 the EgyptiansH4714? For it had been betterH2896 for us to serveH5647 the EgyptiansH4714, than that we should dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto them, Would to GodH4310+H5414 we had diedH4191 by the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when we satH3427 by the fleshH1320 potsH5518, and when we did eatH398 breadH3899 to the fullH7648; for ye have brought us forthH3318 into this wildernessH4057, to killH4191 this whole assemblyH6951 with hungerH7458.
Wherefore the peopleH5971 did chideH7378 with MosesH4872, and saidH559, GiveH5414 us waterH4325 that we may drinkH8354. And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, Why chideH7378 ye with me? wherefore do ye temptH5254 the LORDH3068?
And when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 that MosesH4872 delayedH954 to come downH3381 out of the mountH2022, the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH6950 unto AaronH175, and saidH559 unto him, UpH6965, makeH6213 us godsH430, which shall goH3212 beforeH6440 us; for as for this MosesH4872, the manH376 that broughtH5927 us up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, we wotH3045 not what is become of him.
And all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 murmuredH3885 against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175: and the whole congregationH5712 saidH559 unto them, Would GodH3863 that we had diedH4191 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714! or would GodH3863 we had diedH4191 in this wildernessH4057!
And wherefore hath the LORDH3068 broughtH935 us unto this landH776, to fallH5307 by the swordH2719, that our wivesH802 and our childrenH2945 should be a preyH957? were it not betterH2896 for us to returnH7725 into EgyptH4714?
And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, Let us makeH5414 a captainH7218, and let us returnH7725 into EgyptH4714.
And they rose upH6965 beforeH6440 MosesH4872, with certainH582 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 princesH5387 of the assemblyH5712, famousH7148 in the congregationH4150, menH582 of renownH8034:
And they gathered themselves togetherH6950 against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175, and saidH559 unto them, Ye take too muchH7227 upon you, seeing all the congregationH5712 are holyH6918, every one of them, and the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 them: wherefore then lift ye upH5375 yourselves above the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068? {Ye take…: Heb. It is much for you}
But on the morrowH4283 all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 murmuredH3885 against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175, sayingH559, Ye have killedH4191 the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068.
And ye shall makeH3772 no leagueH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776; ye shall throw downH5422 their altarsH4196: but ye have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963: why have ye doneH6213 this?
Wherefore I also saidH559, I will not drive them outH1644 from beforeH6440 you; but they shall be as thorns in your sidesH6654, and their godsH430 shall be a snareH4170 unto you.
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was hotH2734 against IsraelH3478; and he saidH559, Because that this peopleH1471 hath transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285 which I commandedH6680 their fathersH1, and have not hearkenedH8085 unto my voiceH6963;
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 againH3254 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, when EhudH164 was deadH4191.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of MidianH4080 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 againH3254 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 fortyH705 yearsH8141. {did evil…: Heb. added to commit, etc}
Yet they temptedH5254 and provokedH4784 the most highH5945 GodH430, and keptH8104 not his testimoniesH5713:
But turned backH5472, and dealt unfaithfullyH898 like their fathersH1: they were turned asideH2015 like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198.
For they provoked him to angerH3707 with their high placesH1116, and moved him to jealousyH7065 with their graven imagesH6456.
When GodH430 heardH8085 this, he was wrothH5674, and greatlyH3966 abhorredH3988 IsraelH3478:
But lustedH183 exceedinglyH8378 in the wildernessH4057, and temptedH5254 GodH410 in the desertH3452. {lusted…: Heb. lusted a lust}
And he gaveH5414 them their requestH7596; but sentH7971 leannessH7332 into their soulH5315.
They enviedH7065 MosesH4872 also in the campH4264, and AaronH175 the saintH6918 of the LORDH3068.
The earthH776 openedH6605 and swallowed upH1104 DathanH1885, and coveredH3680 the companyH5712 of AbiramH48.
And a fireH784 was kindledH1197 in their companyH5712; the flameH3852 burned upH3857 the wickedH7563.
They madeH6213 a calfH5695 in HorebH2722, and worshippedH7812 the molten imageH4541.
Thus they changedH4171 their gloryH3519 into the similitudeH8403 of an oxH7794 that eatethH398 grassH6212.
They forgatH7911 GodH410 their saviourH3467, which had doneH6213 great thingsH1419 in EgyptH4714;
They did not destroyH8045 the nationsH5971, concerning whom the LORDH3068 commandedH559 them:
But were mingledH6148 among the heathenH1471, and learnedH3925 their worksH4639.
And they servedH5647 their idolsH6091: which were a snareH4170 unto them.
Yea, they sacrificedH2076 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 unto devilsH7700,
And shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, even the bloodH1818 of their sonsH1121 and of their daughtersH1323, whom they sacrificedH2076 unto the idolsH6091 of CanaanH3667: and the landH776 was pollutedH2610 with bloodH1818.
Thus were they defiledH2930 with their own worksH4639, and went a whoringH2181 with their own inventionsH4611.
Therefore was the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, insomuch that he abhorredH8581 his own inheritanceH5159.
Ye stiffneckedG4644 andG2532 uncircumcisedG564 in heartG2588 andG2532 earsG3775, yeG5210 doG496 alwaysG104 resistG496 the HolyG40 GhostG4151: asG5613 yourG5216 fathersG3962 did, soG2532 do yeG5210.
WhichG5101 of the prophetsG4396 haveG1377 notG3756 yourG5216 fathersG3962 persecutedG1377? andG2532 they have slainG615 them whichG3588 shewed beforeG4293 ofG4012 the comingG1660 of the Just OneG1342; of whomG3739 yeG5210 have beenG1096 nowG3568 the betrayersG4273 andG2532 murderersG5406:
WhoG3748 have receivedG2983 the lawG3551 byG1519 the dispositionG1296 of angelsG32, andG2532 haveG5442 notG3756 keptG5442 it.
