1 Samuel 8:4 in Context — 1 Samuel 8

2 E o nome de seu filho primogênito foi Joel, e o nome do segundo, Abias: foram juízes em Berseba.

3 Mas não andaram os filhos pelos caminhos de seu pai, antes se inclinaram atrás a ganância, recebendo suborno e pervertendo o direito.

4 Então todos os anciãos de Israel se juntaram, e vieram a Samuel em Ramá,

5 E disseram-lhe: Eis que tu envelheceste, e teus filhos não vão por teus caminhos: portanto, constitui-nos agora um rei que nos julgue, como todas as nações.

6 E descontentou a Samuel esta palavra que disseram: Dá-nos rei que nos julgue. E Samuel orou ao SENHOR.
