09:008:008 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.
09:008:009 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.
09:008:010 And Samuel told all the words of the lord
unto the people that
asked
of him a king.
09:008:011 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.
09:008:012 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.
09:008:013 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries,
and to
be
cooks, and to be bakers.
09:008:014 And he will take your fields, and your
vineyards, and your
oliveyards,
even the best of them, and give them to his
servants.
09:008:015 And he will take the tenth of your seed,
and of your
vineyards,
and give to his officers, and to his servants.
09:008:016 And he will take your menservants, and
your maidservants, and
your
goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to
his
work.
09:008:017 He will take the tenth of your sheep:
and ye shall be his
servants.
09:008:018 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.
09:008:019 Nevertheless the people refused to obey
the voice of Samuel;
and
they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
09:008:020 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.
09:008:021 And Samuel heard all the words of the people,
and he rehearsed
them
in the ears of the lord.
09:008:022 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.
09:009:001 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose
name was Kish, the son
of
Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the
son of
Aphiah,
a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
