1 Samuel 8:6-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
6
But the matter was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, 'Give us a king to judge us.' And Samuel prayed to the
Lord
.
7
And the
Lord
said to Samuel, 'Listen to the voice of the people regarding all that they say to you, because they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being King over them.
8
Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day—in that they have abandoned Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you as well.
9
Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall warn them strongly and tell them of the practice of the king who will reign over them.'
King James Version
Chapter 8
6
But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the
Lord
.
7
And the
Lord
said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
8
According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
9
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
6
When they said, "Give us a king to judge us," Samuel considered their demand wrong, so he prayed to the
Lord
.
7
But the
Lord
told him, "Listen to the people and everything they say to you. They have not rejected you; they have rejected me as their king.
8
They are doing the same thing to you that they have done to me, since the day I brought them out of Egypt until this day, abandoning me and worshiping other gods.
9
Listen to them, but solemnly warn them and tell them about the customary rights of the king who will reign over them."
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
6
Samuel was displeased with their request and went to the
Lord
for guidance.
7
Do everything they say to you,' the
Lord
replied, 'for they are rejecting me, not you. They don’t want me to be their king any longer.
8
Ever since I brought them from Egypt they have continually abandoned me and followed other gods. And now they are giving you the same treatment.
9
Do as they ask, but solemnly warn them about the way a king will reign over them.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
6
But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." And Samuel prayed to the
Lord
.
7
And the
Lord
said to Samuel, "Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them.
8
According to all the deeds that they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you.
9
Now then, obey their voice; only you shall solemnly warn them and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them."
New International Version
Chapter 8
6
But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the
Lord
.
7
And the
Lord
told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.
8
As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you.
9
Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights."
New King James Version
Chapter 8
6
But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to the
Lord
.
7
And the
Lord
said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.
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—with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also.
9
Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them, and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them.”
