When thou art comeH935 unto the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, and shalt possessH3423 it, and shalt dwellH3427 therein, and shalt sayH559, I will setH7760 a kingH4428 over me, like as all the nationsH1471 that are aboutH5439 me;
Thou shalt in any wiseH7760 setH7760 him kingH4428 over thee, whom the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977: one from amongH7130 thy brethrenH251 shalt thou setH7760 kingH4428 over thee: thou mayestH3201 not setH5414 a strangerH5237+H376 over thee, which is not thy brotherH251.
But he shall not multiplyH7235 horsesH5483 to himself, nor cause the peopleH5971 to returnH7725 to EgyptH4714, to the end that he should multiplyH7235 horsesH5483: forasmuch as the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto you, Ye shall henceforthH3254 returnH7725 no more that wayH1870.
Neither shall he multiplyH7235 wivesH802 to himself, that his heartH3824 turnH5493 not away: neither shall he greatlyH3966 multiplyH7235 to himself silverH3701 and goldH2091.
And it shall be, when he sittethH3427 upon the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, that he shall writeH3789 him a copyH4932 of this lawH8451 in a bookH5612 out of that which is beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881:
And it shall be with him, and he shall readH7121 therein all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416: that he may learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, to keepH8104 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 and these statutesH2706, to doH6213 them:
That his heartH3824 be not lifted upH7311 above his brethrenH251, and that he turn not asideH5493 from the commandmentH4687, to the right handH3225, or to the leftH8040: to the end that he may prolongH748 his daysH3117 in his kingdomH4467, he, and his childrenH1121, in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478.
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 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.
They have set up kingsH4427, but not by me: they have made princesH7786, and I knewH3045 it not: of their silverH3701 and their goldH2091 have they madeH6213 them idolsH6091, that they may be cut offH3772.
The sceptreH7626 shall not departH5493 from JudahH3063, nor a lawgiverH2710 from between his feetH7272, untilH3588 ShilohH7886 comeH935; and unto him shall the gatheringH3349 of the peopleH5971 be.
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.

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}

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 he will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to be confectionariesH7548, and to be cooksH2879, and to be bakersH644.

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.

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.
SayingG3004, I will declareG518 thyG4675 nameG3686 unto myG3450 brethrenG80, inG1722 the midstG3319 of the churchG1577 will I sing praiseG5214 unto theeG4571.
AndG2532 hath madeG4160 usG2248 kingsG935 andG2532 priestsG2409 unto GodG2316 andG2532 hisG846 FatherG3962; to himG846 be gloryG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
Do yeG1492 notG3756 knowG1492 thatG3754 the saintsG40 shall judgeG2919 the worldG2889? andG2532 ifG1487 the worldG2889 shall be judgedG2919 byG1722 youG5213, are yeG2075 unworthyG370 to judgeG2922 the smallest mattersG1646?
This is a trueG4103 sayingG3056, If a manG1536 desireG3713 the office of a bishopG1984, he desirethG1937 a goodG2570 workG2041.
A bishopG1985 thenG3767 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG423, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, vigilantG3524, soberG4998, of good behaviourG2887, given to hospitalityG5382, apt to teachG1317; {of good…: or, modest}
NotG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; butG235 patientG1933, not a brawlerG269, not covetousG866; {given…: or, ready to quarrel, and offer wrong, as one in wine}
One that rulethG4291 wellG2573 his ownG2398 houseG3624, havingG2192 his childrenG5043 inG1722 subjectionG5292 withG3326 allG3956 gravityG4587;
(ForG1161 if a manG1536 knowG1492 notG3756 howG1492 to ruleG4291 his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take care ofG1959 the churchG1577 of GodG2316?)
NotG3361 a noviceG3504, lestG3363 being lifted up with prideG5187 he fallG1706 intoG1519 the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228. {a novice: or, one newly come to the faith}
MoreoverG1161+G2532 heG846 mustG1163 haveG2192 a goodG2570 reportG3141 ofG575 them which are withoutG1855; lestG3363 he fallG1706 intoG1519 reproachG3680 andG2532 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228.
The elderG4245 unto the wellbelovedG27 GaiusG1050, whomG3739 IG1473 loveG25 inG1722 the truthG225. {in…: or, truly}
Some trust in chariotsH7393, and some in horsesH5483: but we will rememberH2142 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
An horseH5483 is a vain thingH8267 for safetyH8668: neither shall he deliverH4422 any by his greatH7230 strengthH2428.
I will healH7495 their backslidingH4878, I will loveH157 them freelyH5071: for mine angerH639 is turned awayH7725 from him.
MortifyG3499 thereforeG3767 yourG5216 membersG3196 whichG3588 are uponG1909 the earthG1093; fornicationG4202, uncleannessG167, inordinate affectionG3806, evilG2556 concupiscenceG1939, andG2532 covetousnessG4124, whichG3748 isG2076 idolatryG1495:
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto themG846, The kingsG935 of the GentilesG1484 exercise lordship overG2961 themG846; andG2532 they that exercise authority uponG1850 themG846 are calledG2564 benefactorsG2110.
ButG1161 yeG5210 shall notG3756 be soG3779: butG235 he that is greatestG3187 amongG1722 youG5213, let him beG1096 asG5613 the youngerG3501; andG2532 he that is chiefG2233, asG5613 he that doth serveG1247.
ForG1063 whetherG5101 is greaterG3187, he that sitteth at meatG345, orG2228 he that servethG1247? is notG3780 he that sitteth at meatG345? butG1161 IG1473 amG1510 amongG1722+G3319 youG5216 asG5613 he that servethG1247.
