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.
Now the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478: and the menH582 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430, and fell downH5307 slainH2491 in mountH2022 GilboaH1533. {slain: or, wounded}
And the PhilistinesH6430 followed hardH1692 upon SaulH7586 and upon his sonsH1121; and the PhilistinesH6430 slewH5221 JonathanH3083, and AbinadabH41, and MalchishuaH4444, Saul'sH7586 sonsH1121.
And the battleH4421 went soreH3513 against SaulH7586, and the archersH3384+H582+H7198 hitH4672 him; and he was soreH3966 woundedH2342 of the archersH3384+H582+H7198. {and the archers: Heb. and the shooters, men with bows} {hit…: Heb. found him}
Then saidH559 SaulH7586 unto his armourbearerH5375+H3627, DrawH8025 thy swordH2719, and thrust me throughH1856 therewith; lest these uncircumcisedH6189 comeH935 and thrust me throughH1856, and abuseH5953 me. But his armourbearerH5375+H3627 wouldH14 not; for he was soreH3966 afraidH3372. Therefore SaulH7586 tookH3947 a swordH2719, and fellH5307 upon it. {abuse…: or, mock me}
And when his armourbearerH5375+H3627 sawH7200 that SaulH7586 was deadH4191, he fellH5307 likewise upon his swordH2719, and diedH4191 with him.
So SaulH7586 diedH4191, and his threeH7969 sonsH1121, and his armourbearerH5375+H3627, and all his menH582, that same dayH3117 togetherH3162.
