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. 09:009:002 And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people. 09:009:003 And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.
