And Jehovah will raise up judges, and they will save them from the hand of their plunderers. And also they will not hear to their judges, for they committed fornications after other gods, and they will worship to them: they turned aside quickly from the way which their fathers went to hear the commands of Jehovah; they did not so. And when Jehovah raised up to them judges, and Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them from the hand of their enemies all of the days of the judge: for Jehovah will grieve from their groaning from the face of those pressing them and thrusting them. read more.

And they will say to him, Behold, thou wert old, and thy sons went not in thy ways: now set up for us a king to judge us as all the nations. And the word will be evil in the eyes of Samuel when they said, Give to us a king to judge us: and Samuel will pray to Jehovah. 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. read more.

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.

Into your hand God gave the chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do according to you? Then was their spirit relaxed from over him in his speaking this word. read more.

And the chiefs of Succoth will say, Is the hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand that bread was given to thine army? And Gideon will say, For this in Jehovah's giving Zebah and Zalmunna into my band, and I threshed your flesh with thorns of the desert and threshing-sledges. And he will go up from thence to Penuel, and he will say to them like this: and the men of Penuel will answer him as the men of Succoth answered.
