Chap. VIII.
Samuel growing old, and his sonnes for bribes peruerting iudgement, the
people require to haue a king. 7. To whom by Gods commandment, Samuel
forsheweth the law of a king, to make them cease from their demand; 19.
but they persist therin.
1 And it came to passe when Samuel waxed old, he appoynted
his sonnes iudges ouer Israel.
2 And the name
of his first begotten sonne was Ioel: and the name of the second
Abia, iudges in Bersabee.
3 And his sonnes walked nor
in his waies: but they declined after auarice, & tooke bribes,
and peruerred iudgement.
4 noteTherfore al the ancientes of
Israel being assembled, came to Samuel into Ramatha.
5 And
they sayd to him: Behold thou art old, and thy sonnes walke
not in thy wayes: appoynt vs a king, that he may iudge vs, as
also al nations haue.
6 And the word was misliked in the eyes
of Samuel, because they had sayd: Geue vs a king, that he
may iudge vs. And Samuel prayed to our Lord.
7 And our
Lord sayd to Samuel: Heare the voice of the people in al
thinges which they speake to thee. for they haue not09Q0184 reiected
thee, but me, that I should not reigne ouer them.
8 According to al their workes, which they haue done from
the day that I brought them out of Ægypt vntil this day: as
-- --
Samuel.
they haue forsaken me, and serued strange goddes, so doe they
also vnto thee.
9 Now therefore heare their voice: but yet
testifie to them, and foretel them the note right of the king, that
shal reigne ouer them.
10 Samuel therfore spake al the wordes
of our Lord to the people which had desired a king of him,
11 and sayd: This shal be09Q0185 the right of the king, that shal reigne
ouer you: Your sonnes he wil take, and put in his chariotes,
and wil make them vnto him the horsemen, and running
footmen before his chariotes,
12 and wil appoynt them his
tribunes, and centurions, and the plowers of his fieldes, and
mowers of his corne, and makers of his armour and of his
chariotes.
13 Your daughters also wil he take to make ointementes,
and to be cookes, and bakers.
14 Your fieldes also,
and vineyardes, and the best oliuetes he wil take away, and
geue to his seruantes.
15 Yea and your corne also, and the
reuenewes of your vineyardes he wil tithe, to geue his eunuches
and seruantes.
16 Your seruantes also and handmaides,
and goodliest yong men, and asses he wil take away, and put
in his worke.
17 Your flockes also wil he tithe, you shal be
his seruantes.
18 And you shal crie in that day from the face
of the king, which you haue chosen you: and our Lord note wil
not heare you in that day, because you desired vnto your
selues a king.
19 But the people would not heare the voice
of Samuel, but sayd: Not so: for there shal be a king ouer
vs,
20 and we also wil be as al nations: and our king shal
iudge vs, and shal goe forth before vs, and shal fight our
battels for vs.
21 And Samuel heard al the wordes of the
people, and spake them in the eares of our Lord.
22 And our
Lord said to Samuel: Heare their voice, and appoynt a king
ouer them. And Samuel sayd to the men of Israel: Let euerie
man goe into his citie.
