Text

1	When Samuel became old, he made his sons judges over Israel.
2	The name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba.
3	Yet his sons did not walk in his ways but turned aside after gain. They took bribes and perverted justice.
4	Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah
5	and said to him, “Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
6	But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the LORD.
7	And the LORD said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.
8	According to all the deeds that they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you.
9	Now then, obey their voice; only you shall solemnly warn them and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them.“
10	So Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking for a king from him.
11	He said, “These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots.
12	And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots.
13	He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.
14	He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants.
15	He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants.
16	He will take your male servants and female servants and the best of your 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 slaves.
18	And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day.“
19	But the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel. And they said, “No! But there shall be a king over us,
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.“
21	And when Samuel had heard all the words of the people, he repeated them in the ears of the LORD.
22	And the LORD said to Samuel, “Obey their voice and make them a king.” Samuel then said to the men of Israel, “Go every man to his city.”

NIV

1	When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as judges for Israel.
2	The name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abijah, and they served at Beersheba.
3	But his sons did not walk in his ways. They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice.
4	So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah.
5	They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.”
6	But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD.
7	And the LORD told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.
8	As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you.
9	Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do.“
10	Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king.
11	He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots.
12	Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.
13	He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.
14	He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants.
15	He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants.
16	Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use.
17	He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.
18	When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.“
19	But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us.
20	Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.“
21	When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD.
22	The LORD answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.” Then Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Everyone go back to his town.”

NLT

1	As Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel.
2	Joel and Abijah, his oldest sons, held court in Beersheba.
3	But they were not like their father, for they were greedy for money. They accepted bribes and perverted justice.
4	Finally, all the elders of Israel met at Ramah to discuss the matter with Samuel.
5	“Look,” they told him, “you are now old, and your sons are not like you. Give us a king to judge us like all the other nations have.”
6	Samuel was displeased with their request and went to the LORD for guidance.
7	“Do everything they say to you,” the LORD replied, “for it is me they are rejecting, not you. They don't want me to be their king any longer.
8	Ever since I brought them from Egypt they have continually abandoned me and followed other gods. And now they are giving you the same treatment.
9	Do as they ask, but solemnly warn them about the way a king will reign over them.“
10	So Samuel passed on the LORD's warning to the people who were asking him for a king.
11	“This is how a king will reign over you,” Samuel said. “The king will draft your sons and assign them to his chariots and his charioteers, making them run before his chariots.
12	Some will be generals and captains in his army, some will be forced to plow in his fields and harvest his crops, and some will make his weapons and chariot equipment.
13	The king will take your daughters from you and force them to cook and bake and make perfumes for him.
14	He will take away the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his own officials.
15	He will take a tenth of your grain and your grape harvest and distribute it among his officers and attendants.
16	He will take your male and female slaves and demand the finest of your cattle and donkeys for his own use.
17	He will demand a tenth of your flocks, and you will be his slaves.
18	When that day comes, you will beg for relief from this king you are demanding, but then the LORD will not help you.“
19	But the people refused to listen to Samuel's warning. “Even so, we still want a king,” they said.
20	“We want to be like the nations around us. Our king will judge us and lead us into battle.”
21	So Samuel repeated to the LORD what the people had said,
22	and the LORD replied, “Do as they say, and give them a king.” Then Samuel agreed and sent the people home.

KJV

1	And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
2	Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba.
3	And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
4	Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
5	And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
6	But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
7	And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
8	According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
9	Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
10	And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
11	And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
12	And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
13	And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
14	And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
15	And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
16	And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
17	He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
18	And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
19	Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
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.
21	And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
22	And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
