- It happened, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
- Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beersheba.
- His sons didn't walk in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice.
- Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah;
- 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."
- But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." Samuel prayed to Yahweh.
- 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.
- 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.
- Now therefore listen to their voice: however you shall protest solemnly to them, and shall show them the way of the king who shall reign over them."
- Samuel told all the words of Yahweh to the people who asked of him a king.
- He said, "This will be the way 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;
- 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.
- He will take your daughters to be perfumers, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
- He will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive groves, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
- He will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
- He will take your male servants, and your female servants, and your best young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.
- He will take the tenth of your flocks: and you shall be his servants.
- 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."
- But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, "No; but we will have a king over us,
- 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."
- Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of Yahweh.
- Yahweh said to Samuel, "Listen to their voice, and make them a king." Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Every man go to his city."

- ויהי כאשר זקן שמואל וישם את־בניו שפטים לישראל׃
- ויהי שם־בנו הבכור יואל ושם משנהו אביה שפטים בבאר שבע׃
- ולא־הלכו בניו ויטו אחרי הבצע ויקחו־שחד ויטו משפט׃ ף
- ויתקבצו כל זקני ישראל ויבאו אל־שמואל הרמתה׃
- ויאמרו אליו הנה אתה זקנת ובניך לא הלכו בדרכיך עתה שימה־לנו מלך לשפטנו ככל־הגוים׃
- וירע הדבר בעיני שמואל כאשר אמרו תנה־לנו מלך לשפטנו ויתפלל שמואל אל־יהוה׃ ף
- ויאמר יהוה אל־שמואל שמע בקול העם לכל אשר־יאמרו אליך כי לא אתך מאסו כי־אתי מאסו ממלך עליהם׃
- ככל־המעשים אשר־עשו מיום העלתי אתם ממצרים ועד־היום הזה ויעזבני ויעבדו אלהים אחרים כן המה עשים גם־לך׃
- ועתה שמע בקולם אך כי־העד תעיד בהם והגדת להם משפט המלך אשר ימלך עליהם׃ ס
- ויאמר שמואל את כל־דברי יהוה אל־העם השאלים מאתו מלך׃ ס
- ויאמר זה יהיה משפט המלך אשר ימלך עליכם את־בניכם יקח ושם לו במרכבתו ובפרשיו ורצו לפני מרכבתו׃
- ולשום לו שרי אלפים ושרי חמשים ולחרש חרישו ולקצר קצירו ולעשות כלי־מלחמתו וכלי רכבו׃
- ואת־בנותיכם יקח לרקחות ולטבחות ולאפות׃
- ואת־שדותיכם ואת־כרמיכם וזיתיכם הטובים יקח ונתן לעבדיו׃
- וזרעיכם וכרמיכם יעשר ונתן לסריסיו ולעבדיו׃
- ואת־עבדיכם ואת־שפחותיכם ואת־בחוריכם הטובים ואת־חמוריכם יקח ועשה למלאכתו׃
- צאנכם יעשר ואתם תהיו־לו לעבדים׃
- וזעקתם ביום ההוא מלפני מלככם אשר בחרתם לכם ולא־יענה יהוה אתכם ביום ההוא׃
- וימאנו העם לשמע בקול שמואל ויאמרו לא כי אם־מלך יהיה עלינו׃
- והיינו גם־אנחנו ככל־הגוים ושפטנו מלכנו ויצא לפנינו ונלחם את־מלחמתנו׃
- וישמע שמואל את כל־דברי העם וידברם באזני יהוה׃ ף
- ויאמר יהוה אל־שמואל שמע בקולם והמלכת להם מלך ויאמר שמואל אל־אנשי ישראל לכו איש לעירו׃ ף

- Factum est autem cum senuisset Samuel, posuit filios suos judices Israël.
- Fuitque nomen filii ejus primogeniti Joël : et nomen secundi Abia, judicum in Bersabee.
- Et non ambulaverunt filii illius in viis ejus : sed declinaverunt post avaritiam, acceperuntque munera, et perverterunt judicium.
- Congregati ergo universi majores natu Israël, venerunt ad Samuelem in Ramatha.
- Dixeruntque ei : Ecce tu senuisti, et filii tui non ambulant in viis tuis : constitue nobis regem, ut judicet nos, sicut et universæ habent nationes.
- Displicuit sermo in oculis Samuelis, eo quod dixissent : Da nobis regem, ut judicet nos. Et oravit Samuel ad Dominum.
- Dixit autem Dominus ad Samuelem : Audi vocem populi in omnibus quæ loquuntur tibi : non enim te abjecerunt, sed me, ne regnem super eos.
- Juxta omnia opera sua, quæ fecerunt a die qua eduxi eos de Ægypto usque ad diem hanc : sicut dereliquerunt me, et servierunt diis alienis, sic faciunt etiam tibi.
- Nunc ergo vocem eorum audi : verumtamen contestare eos, et prædic eis jus regis, qui regnaturus est super eos.
- Dixit itaque Samuel omnia verba Domini ad populum, qui petierat a se regem.
- Et ait : Hoc erit jus regis, qui imperaturus est vobis : Filios vestros tollet, et ponet in curribus suis, facietque sibi equites et præcursores quadrigarum suarum,
- et constituet sibi tribunos, et centuriones, et aratores agrorum suorum, et messores segetum, et fabros armorum et curruum suorum.
- Filias quoque vestras faciet sibi unguentarias, et focarias, et panificas.
- Agros quoque vestros, et vineas, et oliveta optima tollet, et dabit servis suis.
- Sed et segetes vestras et vinearum reditus addecimabit, ut det eunuchis et famulis suis.
- Servos etiam vestros, et ancillas, et juvenes optimos, et asinos auferet, et ponet in opere suo.
- Greges quoque vestros addecimabit, vosque eritis ei servi.
- Et clamabitis in die illa a facie regis vestri, quem elegistis vobis : et non exaudiet vos Dominus in die illa, quia petistis vobis regem.
- Noluit autem populus audire vocem Samuelis, sed dixerunt : Nequaquam : rex enim erit super nos,
- et erimus nos quoque sicut omnes gentes : et judicabit nos rex noster, et egredietur ante nos, et pugnabit bella nostra pro nobis.
- Et audivit Samuel omnia verba populi, et locutus est ea in auribus Domini.
- Dixit autem Dominus ad Samuelem : Audi vocem eorum, et constitue super eos regem. Et ait Samuel ad viros Israël : Vadat unusquisque in civitatem suam.

- And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
- Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.
- And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
- Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
- 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.
- But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
- 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.
- 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.
- And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
- And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
- And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
- And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
- He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
- 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.
- Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
- 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.
- And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
- 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.
