    1 Samuel 8
    • 1   And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
    • 2   Now the name of his first-born was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: [they were] judges in Beer-sheba.
    • 3   And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
    • 4   Then all the elders of Israel assembled, and came to Samuel to Ramah,
    • 5   And said to 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.
    • 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, Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to 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 out of Egypt even to this day, by which they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also to thee.
    • 9   Now therefore hearken to their voice: yet protest solemnly to them, and show them the manner of the king that will reign over them.
    • 10   And Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people that asked of him a king.
    • 11   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] will run before his chariots.
    • 12   And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and [will set them] to till his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
    • 13   And he will take your daughters [to be] confectioneries, and [to be] cooks, and [to be] bakers.
    • 14   And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards, [even] the best [of them], and give [them] to his servants.
    • 15   And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
    • 16   And he will take your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and your most choice young men, and your asses, and put [them] to his work.
    • 17   He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye will be his servants.
    • 18   And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen for yourselves; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
    • 19   Nevertheless, the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, No; but we will have a king over us;
    • 20   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.
    • 21   And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
    • 22   And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go ye every man to his city.

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.
