Chapter 8
And
it
came
to
passe,
when
Samuel
was
old,
that
he
made
his
sonnes
Iudges
ouer
Israel.
2
Now
the
name
of
his
first
borne
was
Ioel,
and
the
name
of
his
second,
Abiah:
they
were
Iudges
in
Beer-sheba.
3
And
his
sonnes
walked
not
in
his
wayes,
but
turned
aside
after
lucre,
and
tooke
bribes,
&
peruerted
iudgement.
4
Then
all
the
Elders
of
Israel
gathered
themselues
together,
and
came
to
Samuel
vnto
Ramah,
5
And
said
vnto
him,
Behold,
thou
art
olde,
and
thy
sonnes
walke
not
in
thy
wayes:
now
make
vs
a
King
to
iudge
vs,
like
all
the
nations.
6
But
the
thing
displeased
Samuel,
when
they
said,
Giue
vs
a
King
to
iudge
vs:
and
Samuel
prayed
vnto
the
Lord.
7
And
the
Lord
said
vnto
Samuel,
Hearken
vnto
the
voyce
of
the
people
in
all
that
they
say
vnto
thee:
for
they
haue
not
reiected
thee,
but
they
haue
reiected
mee,
that
I
should
not
reigne
ouer
them.
8
According
to
all
the
works
which
they
haue
done
since
the
day
that
I
brought
them
vp
out
of
Egypt
euen
vnto
this
day,
wherewith
they
haue
forsaken
me,
and
serued
other
gods:
so
doe
they
also
vnto
thee.
9
Nowe
therefore
hearken
vnto
their
voyce:
howbeit,
yet
protest
solemnly
vnto
them,
and
shew
them
the
maner
of
the
King
that
shall
reigne
ouer
them.
10
And
Samuel
told
all
the
words
of
the
Lord
vnto
the
people,
that
asked
of
him
a
King.
11
And
hee
sayd,
This
will
be
the
maner
of
the
king
that
shall
reigne
ouer
you:
Hee
will
take
your
sonnes,
and
appoint
them
for
himselfe
for
his
charets,
and
to
bee
his
horsemen,
and
some
shall
runne
before
his
charets.
12
And
hee
will
appoint
him
Captaines
ouer
thousands,
and
captaines
ouer
fifties,
and
will
set
them
to
eare
his
ground,
and
to
reape
his
haruest,
and
to
make
his
instruments
of
warre,
and
instruments
of
his
charets.
13
And
he
will
take
your
daughters
to
be
confectionaries,
and
to
be
cookes,
and
to
be
bakers.
14
And
he
will
take
your
fields,
and
your
vineyards,
and
your
oliue-yards,
euen
the
best
of
them,
and
giue
them
to
his
seruants.
15
And
he
will
take
the
tenth
of
your
seed,
and
of
your
vineyards,
and
giue
to
his
officers,
and
to
his
seruants.
16
And
hee
will
take
your
men
seruants,
and
your
mayd
seruants,
and
your
goodliest
young
men,
and
your
asses,
and
put
them
to
his
worke.
17
Hee
will
take
the
tenth
of
your
sheepe,
and
ye
shall
be
his
seruants.
18
And
ye
shall
cry
out
in
that
day,
because
of
your
king
which
ye
shall
haue
chosen
you;
and
the
Lord
will
not
heare
you
in
that
day.
19
Neuerthelesse,
the
people
refused
to
obey
the
voyce
of
Samuel;
and
they
said,
Nay,
but
we
will
haue
a
King
ouer
vs:
20
That
we
also
may
be
like
all
the
nations,
and
that
our
King
may
iudge
vs,
and
goe
out
before
vs,
and
fight
our
battels.
21
And
Samuel
heard
all
the
words
of
the
people,
and
he
rehearsed
them
in
the
eares
of
the
Lord.
22
And
the
Lord
said
to
Samuel,
Hearken
vnto
their
voyce,
and
make
them
a
King.
And
Samuel
said
vnto
the
men
of
Israel,
Goe
yee
euery
man
vnto
his
citie.
