3 His sons didn’t walk in his ways, but turned away after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice. 1 Samuel 8:3WEB
4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel to Ramah. 1 Samuel 8:4WEB
5 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.” 1 Samuel 8:5WEB

7 YHWH 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 as the king over them. 1 Samuel 8:7WEB
8 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 they also do to you. 1 Samuel 8:8WEB
9 Now therefore, listen to their voice. However, you shall protest solemnly to them, and shall show them the way of the king who will reign over them.” 1 Samuel 8:9WEB
10 Samuel told all YHWH’s words to the people who asked him for a king. 1 Samuel 8:10WEB

12 He will appoint them to him for captains of thousands and captains of fifties; and he will assign some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest; and to make his instruments of war and the instruments of his chariots. 1 Samuel 8:12WEB
13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers, to be cooks, and to be bakers. 1 Samuel 8:13WEB
14 He will take your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, even your best, and give them to his servants. 1 Samuel 8:14WEB
15 He will take one tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give it to his officers and to his servants. 1 Samuel 8:15WEB
16 He will take your male servants, your female servants, your best young men, and your donkeys, and assign them to his own work. 1 Samuel 8:16WEB
17 He will take one tenth of your flocks; and you will be his servants. 1 Samuel 8:17WEB
18 You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you will have chosen for yourselves; and YHWH will not answer you in that day.” 1 Samuel 8:18WEB
19 But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No, but we will have a king over us, 1 Samuel 8:19WEB
20 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.” 1 Samuel 8:20WEB
