And
Samuel saith
unto
all Israel, `Lo,
I have hearkened
to your voice ,
to
all that ye
said to me, and I cause
to
reign
over you a king ,
Then
Samuel said
to
all Israel, “
I have listened
to your voice in
all that you
have
said to me, and I have
set
over you a king .
and
now ,
lo,
the king is
walking habitually
before you, and I have
become
aged
and gray -headed
, and my sons ,
lo,
they
`
are '
with you ,
and
I have walked habitually
before you from my youth till
this day.
Now here
is
the king walking before you, and I am
old
and gray, and my sons are here
with you .
I have walked before you from my youth until
this day.
`Lo,
here `am'
I ;
testify
against me ,
over-against
Jehovah,
and over-against
His anointed ;
whose ox have
I
taken,
and
whose
ass
have I taken ,
and
whom have I oppressed ;
whom
have
I
bruised,
and
of
whose hand have I taken
a ransom,
and hide
mine
eyes with
it
? --
and I restore to you. '
Here I am.
Bear
witness
against me before
the
LORD
and before
His anointed :
Whose ox or
donkey
have I taken ?
Whom have I cheated
or
oppressed ?
From
whose hand have I accepted
a bribe
and closed
my
eyes? Tell
me,
and I will
restore it
to you. ”
And
they
say,
`Thou
hast
not oppressed us, nor
hast
thou
crushed
us
, nor hast
thou
taken from the hand of any
one
anything
. '
“You
have
not wronged
us
or
oppressed us, ”
they
replied
, “
nor have
you
taken anything
from the hand of man
. ”
And
he
saith
unto
them, `
A witness `is'
Jehovah
against you :
and a
witness
`is'
His anointed this
day
, that ye
have not found anything in my hand ;'
and
they
say,
`
A witness. '
Samuel
said
to
them, “The
LORD
is
a witness against you ,
and His anointed is
a
witness
today
, that you
have not found anything in my hand .”
“He
is
a witness ,”
they
replied
.
And
Samuel saith
unto
the people, `Jehovah
--
He
who made
Moses and Aaron, and who brought up
your fathers out of the land of Egypt !
Then
Samuel said
to
the people, “The
LORD
is
the
One
who appointed
Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up
out of the land of Egypt .
and,
now ,
station
yourselves, and
I judge
you before Jehovah,
with all the righteous acts of
Jehovah,
which
He did
with
you ,
and with
your fathers.
Now present
yourselves, so
that
I may
confront
you before the
LORD
with all the righteous acts He has
done
for
you and your fathers.
`
When Jacob hath
come
in
to Egypt, and
your fathers cry
unto
Jehovah
, then
Jehovah
sendeth
Moses and Aaron, and
they
bring
out
your fathers from
Egypt ,
and cause
them to
dwell
in this place ,
When Jacob went
to Egypt, your fathers cried
out
to
the
LORD
, and
He
sent
them
Moses and Aaron, who
brought
your fathers out
of
Egypt and settled
them in this place .
and
they forget
Jehovah
their God, and He selleth
them into the hand of Sisera ,
head
of the host
of Hazor, and into the hand
of the Philistines ,
and into
the hand
of
the
king of Moab, and
they
fight
against them ,
But
they forgot
the
LORD
their God, and He sold
them into the hand of Sisera the
commander
of the army
of Hazor, and into the hands
of the Philistines and the king of Moab, who
fought
against them .
and
they cry
unto
Jehovah,
and say
, We have sinned, because
we have forsaken Jehovah,
and
serve
the Baalim,
and Ashtaroth,
and now ,
deliver us out
of
the hand
of our enemies, and
we serve Thee
.
Then
they cried
out
to
the
LORD
and said
, ‘
We have sinned, for
we have forsaken the LORD
and served
the
Baals
and Ashtoreths.
Now deliver us from
the hands
of our enemies, that
we may
serve You
. ’
`And
Jehovah
sendeth
Jerubbaal, and
Bedan
, and
Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivereth
you out
of
the hand
of your enemies round
about
, and ye
dwell
confidently
.
So
the
LORD
sent
Jerubbaal, Barak
, Jephthah, and Samuel, and He
delivered
you from
the hands
of your enemies on
every
side
, and you
dwelt
securely
.
`And
ye
see
that Nahash king of the Bene-Ammon
hath
come
against you, and
ye
say
to me, Nay
, but
a king doth
reign
over us ;
and
Jehovah
your God `is'
your king !
But
when
you
saw
that Nahash king of the Ammonites
was
moving
against you, you
said
to me, ‘No
, we
must
have
a king to
rule
over us ’—even
though
the
LORD
your God was
your king .
And,
now ,
lo,
the king whom
ye
have chosen --
whom
ye
have
asked!
and
lo
, Jehovah
hath
placed
over
you a king.
Now here
is
the king you
have chosen, the
one
you requested.
Behold,
the
LORD
has
placed
a king over
you
.
`
If ye
fear Jehovah,
and have
served
Him ,
and hearkened
to
His voice, then
ye
do not provoke
the mouth
of Jehovah
, and ye
have
been
--
both ye
and the king who hath
reigned
over you --
after
Jehovah
your God.
If you
fear the
LORD
and serve
Him and obey
His voice, and
if
you
do not rebel
against
the command
of the
LORD
, and if
both you
and the king who reigns
over you follow
the
LORD
your God ,
then
all
will
be
well
.
`And
if ye
do
not
hearken
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah
--
then
ye
have
provoked
the mouth
of
Jehovah,
and the hand of Jehovah
hath
been
against you ,
and
against your fathers.
But
if you
disobey
the LORD
and rebel
against
His
command,
then
the hand of the
LORD
will
be
against you as
it
was
against your fathers.
`Also
now, station
yourselves
and see this great thing which
Jehovah
is
doing
before your eyes ;
Now, therefore,
stand
and see this great thing that
the
LORD
will
do
before your eyes .
is it not wheat -
harvest to-day
? I call unto
Jehovah,
and
He
doth
give
voices
and rain ;
and
know ye
and see that
your
evil
is
great which
ye
have done
in the eyes
of Jehovah,
to
ask
for you
a king. '
Is it not the
wheat harvest today
? I will
call on
the
LORD
to
send
thunder
and rain ,
so
that
you
will
know and see what
a
great evil
you
have committed
in the sight
of the
LORD
by
asking
for a king. ”
And
Samuel calleth
unto
Jehovah
, and Jehovah
giveth
voices
and
rain,
on that day ,
and all the people greatly fear
Jehovah
and Samuel ;
So
Samuel called
to
the
LORD
, and on that day the
LORD
sent
thunder
and rain.
As
a
result,
all the people greatly feared
the
LORD
and Samuel .
and
all
the
people
say
unto
Samuel, `
Pray for thy
servants unto
Jehovah
thy
God,
and
we do
not die ,
for we have added to all our sins evil to
ask
for us
a king. '
They
pleaded
with
Samuel, “
Pray to
the
LORD
your
God
for your
servants so
that
we will
not die !
For we have added to all our sins the
evil of
asking
for a king. ”
And
Samuel
saith
unto
the
people,
`Fear
not ;
ye
have done
all this evil ;
only
, turn
not aside from after
Jehovah
--
and
ye
have
served
Jehovah
with all your heart ,
“Do
not be
afraid,”
Samuel
replied.
“Even
though
you
have committed
all this evil, do
not turn
aside from following
the
LORD,
but
serve
the
LORD
with all your heart .
and
ye
do not turn aside after the
vain
things which
do
not
profit nor
deliver, for they `
are '
vain,
Do not turn aside after worthless
things that
cannot
profit you
or
deliver you
, for they are empty.
for
Jehovah
doth
not
leave
His
people
, on
account
of His great name ;
for
Jehovah
hath
been
pleased to make you to
Him
for
a
people
.
Indeed
, for
the
sake
of His great name ,
the
LORD
will
not
abandon
His
people,
because
He
was
pleased to make you His
own
.
`I,
also
, far be it from me to
sin against Jehovah,
by ceasing to pray for you ,
and I have
directed
you in
the good and upright
way ;
As
for
me
, far be it from me that
I
should
sin against the
LORD
by ceasing to pray for you .
And I will
continue
to
teach
you the good and right
way .
only
, fear ye
Jehovah,
and ye
have
served
Him in
truth
with all your heart ,
for
see
that
which
He
hath
made
great with
you ;
Above
all
, fear the
LORD
and serve
Him faithfully
with all your heart ;
consider
what
great things
He
has
done
for
you .
and
if ye
really
do
evil, both ye
and your king are
consumed
. '
But
if you
persist
in
doing
evil, both you
and your king will
be
swept
away
. ”
