And The People said, we want a King and God
gave them what they asked for.....
AND HOW DID THAT TURN
OUT?
(1 Samuel 8:4 KJV) Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves
together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
(1 Samuel 8:5 KJV) And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy
sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the
nations.
(1 Samuel 8:6 KJV) But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said,
Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
(1 Samuel 8:7 KJV) 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.
(1 Samuel 8:8 KJV) 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.
(1 Samuel 8:9 KJV) 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.
(1 Samuel 8:10 KJV) And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto
the people that asked of him a king.
(1 Samuel 8:11 KJV) And he said, This will be the manner of the king
that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself,
for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his
chariots.
(1 Samuel 8:12 KJV) And he will appoint him captains over thousands,
and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his
harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his
chariots.
(1 Samuel 8:13 KJV) And he will take your daughters to be
confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
(1 Samuel 8:14 KJV) And he will take your fields, and your vineyards,
and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
(1 Samuel 8:15 KJV) And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of
your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
(1 Samuel 8:16 KJV) And he will take your menservants, and your
maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his
work.
(1 Samuel 8:17 KJV) He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye
shall be his servants.
(1 Samuel 8:18 KJV) And ye shall cry out in that day because of your
king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that
day.
(1 Samuel 8:19 KJV) Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice
of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
(1 Samuel 8:20 KJV) 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 8:21 KJV) And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and
he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
(1 Samuel 8:22 KJV) And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their
voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every
man unto his city.
(Revelation 22:20-21 KJV) He which testifieth these things saith,
Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord
Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.
