007:012 Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto has Yahweh helped us. 007:013 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel: and the hand of Yahweh was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. 007:014 The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and the border of it did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites. 007:015 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. 007:016 He went from year to year in circuit to Bethel and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places. 007:017 His return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar to Yahweh. 008:001 It happened, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. 008:002 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beersheba. 008:003 His sons didn't walk in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice. 008:004 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah; 008:005 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. 008:006 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. Samuel prayed to Yahweh. 008:007 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. 008:008 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. 008:009 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. 008:010 Samuel told all the words of Yahweh to the people who asked of him a king. 008:011 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; 008:012 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. 008:013 He will take your daughters to be perfumers, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
