And Jehovah will say to Samuel, Hear to the voice of the people to all which they will say to thee: for not thee did they reject, but me they rejected from reigning over them. According to all the works which they did from the day I brought them up out of Egypt, and even to this day, and they will forsake me and serve other gods, so they do also to thee. And now hear to their voice: but protesting, thou shalt protest to them, and announce to them the judgment of the king who shall reign over them. And Samuel will say all the words of Jehovah to the people asking from him a king. And he will say, This shall be the judgment of the king who shall reign over you: your sons he will take and set for himself, for his chariots and for his horsemen; and running before his chariots. And to set to himself captains of thousands and captains of fifties; and to plough his ploughing and to reap his harvest, and to do all his fighting and all his chariots. And your daughters he will take for perfumers, and for cooks, and for bakers. And your fields and your vineyards, and your olive trees, the good he will take and give to his servants. And of your seeds and of your vineyards he will take the tenth and give to his eunuchs and to his servants. And your servants and your maids, and your good young men, and your asses, he will take and make for his services. And of your sheep he will take the tenth: and ye shall be to him for servants. And ye cried out in that day from before your king which ye chose to yourselves; and Jehovah will not answer you in that day. And the people will refuse to hear to the voice of Samuel; and they will say, Nay; but a king shall be over us. And we were as all the nations; and our king judged us and went out before us, and fought our battles. And Samuel will hear all the words of the people, and he will speak them in the ears of Jehovah. And Jehovah will say to Samuel, Hear to their voice, and make a king for them. And Samuel will say to them, Go ye a man to his city.

And she bitter of soul, and she will pray to Jehovah, and weeping, she will weep. And she will vow a vow, and say, Jehovah of armies, if seeing, thou wilt see the affliction of thy servant and remember me, and thou wilt not forget thy servant, and give to thy servant seed of men, and I gave him to Jehovah all the days of his life, and a razor shall not come up upon his head. And it was when she multiplied to pray before Jehovah, and Eli watched her mouth. And Hannah she speaking upon her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice will not be heard: and Eli will think her to be intoxicated. And Eli will say to her, How long wilt thou be intoxicated? remove thy wine from thee. And Hannah will answer and say, No, my lord, I a woman hard of spirit, and wine and strong drink I drank not, and I will pour out my soul before Jehovah. Thou wilt not give thy servant before a daughter of Belial, for from the abundance of my complaint and my grief I spoke even till now. And Eli will answer and say, Go with peace: and the God of Israel shall give thine asking which thou didst ask of him. And she will say, Thy servant shall find grace in thine eyes. And the woman will go to her way, and ate, and her face is to her no more. And they will rise early in the morning and worship before Jehovah, and will turn back and will go to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah will know Hannah his wife, and Jehovah will remember her. And it will be at the return of days Hannah will conceive and bear a son, and she will call his name Samuel, for of Jehovah I asked him.
