Now you have a king as your leader. As for me, I am old and gray, and my sons are here with you. I have been your leader from my youth until this day.

Now you have a king as your leader. But I’m old. My hair is gray. My sons are here with you. I’ve been your leader from the time I was young until this day.

And now, behold, the king walks before you, and I am old and gray; and behold, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth until this day.

Your king is now your leader. I stand here before you— an old, gray haired man— and my sons serve you. I have served as your leader from the time I was a boy to this very day.

Now you can see that the king is leading you. As for me, I’m old and gray, and my sons are here with you. I have led you from my youth until now.

Now, here is the king walking before you, but as for me, I am old and gray, and my sons are here with you. And I have walked before you since my youth to this day.

And now here is the king, walking before you; and I am old and grayheaded, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day.

And now, behold, the king walketh before you; and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my youth unto this day.

Now you can see that the king is leading you. As for me, I’m old and gray, and my sons are here with you. I have led you from my youth until today.

And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons[ are] with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.

Now look! This king walks before you. As for me, I am old and gray, though my sons are here with you. I have walked before you from the time of my youth till the present day.

Now, behold, the king walks before you. I am old and gray- headed. Behold, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth to this day.

說：「你年紀大了，你的兒子不效法你。現在求你為我們立一個王治理我們，像其他國家一樣。」

這樣我們就會像其他國家一樣，有王來統治我們，率領我們，為我們作戰。」

撒母耳在年老的時候立了他的兒子做以色列人的士師。

帶領他們或進或退，免得你的會眾像沒有牧人的羊群。」

然而，他們沒有效法自己的父親，而是愛慕不義之財，貪贓枉法。

撒母耳漸漸長大，耶和華與他同在，使他所說的話沒有一句落空。從但到別示巴，全以色列的人都知道撒母耳被立為耶和華的先知。

以利叫他：「撒母耳，我的孩子。」撒母耳答道：「我在這裡。」

上帝啊，就是我年老髮白的時候，求你也不要丟棄我，好讓我把你的大能告訴下一代，世代相傳。

因我知道自己離世的日子已經不遠了，正如我們的主耶穌基督指示我的。

以利年事已高，他聽說兩個兒子對待以色列人的惡行，以及他們與在會幕門口供職的婦女行淫的事後，

耶和華說：「雅各家啊，以色列家的餘民啊，要聽我說。你們一出生，我就照顧你們；一出母胎，我就呵護你們。即使你們年老髮白的時候，我仍然一如既往地扶持你們。我造了你們，必照顧你們，扶持你們，拯救你們。

我對以利說過我要永遠懲罰他家，因為他知道自己的兒子褻瀆我，卻沒有制止他們。

我的生命如同奉獻在祭壇上的酒正傾倒出來，我離世的日子快要到了。

你們為什麼蔑視獻給我的祭物和供品？你為什麼把你的兒子看得比我還重要，拿我以色列子民所獻的上好祭物來養肥自己？』
