Then all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6908, and cameH935 to SamuelH8050 unto RamahH7414,

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 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 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.

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.
