| 1 | It happened, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. | Dt 16:18 Dt 16:19 Jg 8:22 Jg 8:23 2Ch 19:5 2Ch 19:6 Ne 7:2 1Ti 5:21 |
| 2 | Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beersheba. | 1Ch 6:28 1Ch 6:38 |
| 3 | His sons didn`t walk in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice. | 2Sa 15:4 1Ki 12:6-11 2Ki 21:1-3 Ec 2:19 Jer 22:15-17 |
| 4 | Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah; | Ex 3:16 Ex 24:1 2Sa 5:3 |
| 5 | and they said to him, Behold, you are old, and your sons don`t walk in your ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. | 1Sa 8:6-8 1Sa 8:19-8 1Sa 8:20-8 1Sa 12:17 Nm 23:9 Dt 17:14 Dt 17:15 Hos 13:10 Hos 13:11 Ac 13:21 |
| 6 | But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. Samuel prayed to Yahweh. | 1Sa 12:17 |
| 7 | Yahweh said to Samuel, Listen to the voice of the people in all that they tell you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me, that I should not be king over them. | Nm 22:20 Ps 81:11 Ps 81:12 Isa 66:4 Hos 13:10 Hos 13:11 |
| 8 | According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also to you. | Ex 14:11 Ex 14:12 Ex 16:3 Ex 17:2 Ex 32:1 Nm 14:2-4 Nm 16:2 Nm 16:3 Nm 16:41 Dt 9:24 Jg 2:2 Jg 2:3 Jg 2:20 Jg 4:1 Jg 6:1 Jg 13:1 Ps 78:56-59 Ps 106:14-21 Ps 106:34-40 Ac 7:51-53 |
| 9 | Now therefore listen to their voice: however you shall protest solemnly to them, and shall show them the manner of the king who shall reign over them. | Ezk 3:18 |
| 10 | Samuel told all the words of Yahweh to the people who asked of him a king. |
| 11 | He said, This will be the manner of the king who shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them to him, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots; | 1Sa 10:25 Dt 17:14-20 |
| 12 | and he will appoint them to him for captains of thousands, and captains of fifties; and [he will set some] to plow his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his chariots. | 1Ch 27:1-22 |
| 13 | He will take your daughters to be perfumers, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. |
| 14 | He will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive groves, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. | 1Sa 22:7 1Ki 21:7 1Ki 21:19 Ezk 46:18 |
| 15 | He will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. | Gn 37:36 Isa 39:7 Dn 1:3 Dn 1:7-10 Dn 1:18-10 |
| 16 | He will take your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and your best young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work. |
| 17 | He will take the tenth of your flocks: and you shall be his servants. |
| 18 | You shall cry out in that day because of your king whom you shall have chosen you; and Yahweh will not answer you in that day. | Isa 8:21 |
| 19 | But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No: but we will have a king over us, | Ps 81:11 Jer 7:13 Jer 44:16 Ezk 33:31 |
| 20 | that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles. | 1Sa 8:5 Ex 33:16 Lv 20:24-26 Nm 23:9 Dt 7:6 Ps 106:35 Jn 15:19 Ro 12:12 2Co 6:17 Php 3:20 1Pe 2:9 |
| 21 | Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of Yahweh. | Jg 11:11 |
| 22 | Yahweh said to Samuel, Listen to their voice, and make them a king. Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go you every man to his city. | 1Sa 8:7 Hos 13:11 |
