1 A kad Samuilo ostare, postavi sinove svoje za sudije Izrailju. 2 A ime sinu njegovom prvencu beše Joilo, a drugom Avija, i suđahu u Virsaveji. 3 Ali sinovi njegovi ne hođahu putevima njegovim, nego udariše za dobitkom, i primahu poklone i izvrtahu pravdu. 4 Tada se skupiše sve starešine Izrailjeve i dođoše k Samuilu u Ramu. 5 I rekoše mu: Eto, ti si ostareo, a sinovi tvoji ne hode tvojim putevima: zato postavi nam cara da nam sudi, kao što je u svih naroda. 6 Ali Samuilu ne bi po volji što rekoše: Daj nam cara da nam sudi. I Samuilo se pomoli Gospodu. 7 A Gospod reče Samuilu: Poslušaj glas narodni u svemu što ti govore; jer ne odbaciše tebe nego mene odbaciše da ne carujem nad njima. 8 Kako činiše od onog dana kad ih izvedoh iz Misira do danas, i ostaviše me i služiše drugim bogovima, po svim tim delima čine i tebi. 9 Zato sada poslušaj glas njihov; ali im dobro zasvedoči i kaži način kojim će car carovati nad njima. 10 I kaza Samuilo sve reči Gospodnje narodu koji iskaše od njega cara; 11 i reče: Ovo će biti način kojim će car carovati nad vama: sinove vaše uzimaće i metati ih na kola svoja i među konjike svoje, i oni će trčati pred kolima njegovim; 12 i postaviće ih da su mu hiljadnici i pedesetnici, i da mu oru njive i žnju letinu, i da mu grade ratne sprave i šta treba za kola njegova. 13 Uzimaće i kćeri vaše da mu grade mirisne masti i da mu budu kuvarice i hlebarice. 14 I njive vaše i vinograde vaše i maslinike vaše najbolje uzimaće i razdavati slugama svojim. 15 Uzimaće desetak od useva vaših i od vinograda vaših, i davaće dvoranima svojim i slugama svojim. 16 I sluge vaše i sluškinje vaše i mladiće vaše najlepše i magarce vaše uzimaće, i obrtati na svoje poslove. 17 Stada će vaša desetkovati i vi ćete mu biti robovi. 18 Pa ćete onda vikati, radi cara svog, kog izabraste sebi; ali vas Gospod neće onda uslišiti. 19 Ali narod ne hte poslušati reči Samuilove, i rekoše: Ne, nego car neka bude nad nama, 20 da budemo i mi kao svi narodi; i neka nam sudi car naš i ide pred nama i vodi naše ratove. 21 A Samuilo čuvši sve reči narodne, kaza ih Gospodu. 22 A Gospod reče Samuilu: Poslušaj glas njihov, i postavi im cara. I Samuilo reče Izrailjcima: Idite svaki u svoj grad.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Samuel also died a holy old man, leaving his sons as his successors. I seek for the punishment inflicted upon them, and according to men I find it not: but according to what I know the servants of God suffer every day, they were day by day punished.
