NASB
""Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedure of the king who will reign over them.""
— 1 Samuel 8:9, NASB
“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.”
“Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit thou shalt protest solemnly unto them, and shalt show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. ”
“Now therefore listen to their voice: however you shall protest solemnly to them, and shall show them the way of the king who shall reign over them."”
“So now do as they say. But you must warn them and make them aware of the policies of the king who will rule over them.””
“Now, therefore, hearken to their voice: but yet testify to them, and foretell them the right of the king, that shall reign over them.”
“Give ear now to their voice: but make a serious protest to them, and give them a picture of the sort of king who will be their ruler.”
“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.”
But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." And Samuel prayed to the LORD.
The LORD said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them.
"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 forsaken Me and served other gods--so they are doing to you also.
"Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedure of the king who will reign over them."
So Samuel spoke all the words of the LORD to the people who had asked of him a king.
He said, "This will be the procedure of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and place them for himself in his chariots and among his horsemen and they will run before his chariots.
"He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and of fifties, and some to do his plowing and to reap his harvest and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.
