They served as judges in Beer-sheba. 3But Samuel\u2019s sons didn\u2019t follow in his footsteps. They tried to turn a profit, they accepted bribes, and they perverted justice. 4So all the Israelite elders got together and went to Samuel at Ramah. 5They said to him, \u201cListen. You are old now, and your sons don\u2019t follow in your footsteps. So appoint us a king to judge us like all the other nations have.\u201d 6It seemed very bad to Samuel when they said, \u201cGive us a king to judge us,\u201d so he prayed to the LORD. 7The LORD answered Samuel, \u201cComply with the people\u2019s request\u2014everything they ask of you\u2014because they haven\u2019t rejected you. No, they\u2019ve rejected me as king over them. 8They are doing to you only what they\u2019ve been doing to me from the day I brought them out of Egypt to this very minute, abandoning me and worshipping other gods. 9So comply with their request, but give them a clear warning, telling them how the king will rule over them.\u201d 10Then Samuel explained everything the LORD had said to the people who were asking for a king. 11\u201cThis is how the king will rule over you,\u201d Samuel said: \u201cHe will take your sons, and will use them for his chariots and his cavalry and as runners for his chariot. 12He will use them as his commanders of troops of one thousand and troops of fifty, or to do his plowing and his harvesting, or to make his weapons or parts for his chariots. 13He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, or bakers. 14He will take your best fields, vineyards, and olive groves and give them to his servants. 15He will give one-tenth of your grain and your vineyards to his officials and servants. 16He will take your male and female servants, along with the best of your cattle and donkeys, and make them do his work. 17He will take one-tenth of your flocks, and then you yourselves will become his slaves! 18When that day comes, you will cry out because of the king you chose for yourselves, but on that day the LORD won\u2019t answer you.\u201d 19But the people refused to listen to Samuel and said, \u201cNo! There must be a king over us 20so we can be like all the other nations. Our king will judge us and lead us and fight our battles.\u201d 21Samuel listened to everything the people said and repeated it directly to the LORD. 22Then the LORD said to Samuel, \u201cComply with their request. Give them a king.\u201d Samuel then told the Israelite people, \u201cGo back, each of you, to your own hometown.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbms2aS02TTRYT3c0clh2TGZhd01zNVZ0b0hBd3xBQ3Jtc0trTWpTTmJIdEZnd194Vi13bTduWUVpWEY2a184UGU3cG9JX09rMUNqbjR5dDEtWTBQLW1sNXRVTkFEOFNBM1BEcUxTcUNfQ21vZlNidlRCd295a0RPczZKNGt3ck5odXNONU9FWUxBaGx2eG14bUlOaw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F&amp;v=rlkyTkd6p5Y\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1Now when Samuel got old, he appointed his sons to serve as Israel\u2019s judges. 2The name of his oldest son was Joel; the name of the second was Abijah.
