1 Samuel 8:8

8 Conforme á todas las obras que han hecho desde el día que los saqué de Egipto hasta hoy, que me han dejado y han servido á dioses ajenos, así hacen también contigo.

1 Samuel 8:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 8:8

According to all the works which they have done since the day
that I brought them out of Egypt
This was no new thing; all that they had done since they were wonderfully favoured of God, as to be brought out of Egyptian bondage, was all of a piece with this; one continued series of ingratitude, of rebellion against God, and against his servants, that he employed under him, as Moses, Aaron

even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other
gods;
this is what this people were always addicted to, to east off the worship and service of God, and go into idolatry:

so do they also unto thee;
acted the like ungrateful part to him for all the service he had done them, from his childhood to that time; wherefore, as the disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord, if such things as before observed were done to Jehovah himself, Samuel could not expect to meet with better treatment, other than he had, see ( Matthew 10:24 Matthew 10:25 ) .

1 Samuel 8:8 In-Context

6 Y descontentó á Samuel esta palabra que dijeron: Danos rey que nos juzgue. Y Samuel oró á Jehová.

7 Y dijo Jehová á Samuel: Oye la voz del pueblo en todo lo que te dijeren: porque no te han desechado á ti, sino á mí me han desechado, para que no reine sobre ellos.

8 Conforme á todas las obras que han hecho desde el día que los saqué de Egipto hasta hoy, que me han dejado y han servido á dioses ajenos, así hacen también contigo.

9 Ahora pues, oye su voz: mas protesta contra ellos declarándoles el derecho del rey que ha de reinar sobre ellos.

10 Y dijo Samuel todas las palabras de Jehová al pueblo que le había pedido rey.
