Samuel prayed to Yahweh. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> Now therefore listen to their voice: however you shall protest solemnly to them, and shall show them the manner of the king who shall reign over them. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> Samuel told all the words of Yahweh to the people who asked of him a king. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> He said, This will be the manner 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; <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> He will take your daughters to be perfumers, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> He will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive groves, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> He will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> He will take your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and your best young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> He will take the tenth of your flocks: and you shall be his servants. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No: but we will have a king over us, <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> 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. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of Yahweh. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Yahweh said to Samuel, Listen to their voice, and make them a king. Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go you every man to his city. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n
