1 Samuel 8:21 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 8:21

And Samuel heard all the words of the people
Patiently, and without interruption; attentively heard them, took notice of them, laid them up in his memory; but gave no answer to them, but reported them to the Lord, as in the next clause:

and he rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord;
privately, in a free and familiar manner, with great exactness, as they were expressed; this he did, not before the people publicly, but in secret prayer, seeking for direction what he should further do, or what answer he should return to them.

21 Después de oír lo que el pueblo quería, Samuel se lo comunicó al SEÑOR.
22 —Hazles caso —respondió el SEÑOR—; dales un rey.Entonces Samuel les dijo a los israelitas:—¡Regresen a sus pueblos!
