Deuteronomy 11, NIV
Love and Obey the Lord
11 Love the Lord your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands
always. 2 Remember today that your children were not the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of
the Lord your God: his majesty, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm; 3 the signs he performed and the
things he did in the heart of Egypt, both to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his whole country; 4 what he did to
the Egyptian army, to its horses and chariots, how he overwhelmed them with the waters of the Red Sea[a] as
they were pursuing you, and how the Lord brought lasting ruin on them.
5 It was not your children who saw
what he did for you in the wilderness until you arrived at this place, 6 and what he did to Dathan and Abiram,
sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth right in the middle of all Israel and swallowed
them up with their households, their tents and every living thing that belonged to them.
7 But it was your
own eyes that saw all these great things the Lord has done.
8
Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and
take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 9 and so that you may live long in the land
the Lord swore to your ancestors to give to them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and
honey.
10 The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come,
where you planted your seed and irrigated it by foot as in a vegetable garden.
11 But the land you are crossing
the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven.
12 It is a land
the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the
year to its end.
13
So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the Lord your God and to serve him
with all your heart and with all your soul— 14 then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and
spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil.
15 I will provide grass in the fields
for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
16
Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.
17 Then
the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and he will shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground
will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the Lord is giving you.
18 Fix these words
of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your
foreheads.
19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk
along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses
and on your gates, 21 so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore
to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.
22
If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow—to love the Lord your God, to walk
in obedience to him and to hold fast to him— 23 then the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and
you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you.
24 Every place where you set your foot will be
yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the
Mediterranean Sea. 25 No one will be able to stand against you.
The Lord your God, as he promised you, will
put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.
26
See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse— 27 the blessing if you obey the commands of
the Lord your God that I am giving you today; 28 the curse if you disobey the commands of the Lord your God
and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not
known.
29 When the Lord your God has brought you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to
proclaim on Mount Gerizim the blessings, and on Mount Ebal the curses.
30 As you know, these mountains
are across the Jordan, westward, toward the setting sun, near the great trees of Moreh, in the territory of
those Canaanites living in the Arabah in the vicinity of Gilgal.
31 You are about to cross the Jordan to enter
and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you.
When you have taken it over and are living
there, 32 be sure that you obey all the decrees and laws I am setting before you today.
1 Samuel 8, NLT
Israel Requests a King
8 As Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel. 2 Joel and Abijah, his oldest sons, held
court in Beersheba.
3 But they were not like their father, for they were greedy for money.
They accepted
bribes and perverted justice.
4
Finally, all the elders of Israel met at Ramah to discuss the matter with Samuel.
5 “Look,” they told him,
“you are now old, and your sons are not like you.
Give us a king to judge us like all the other nations have.”
6
Samuel was displeased with their request and went to the Lord for guidance.
7 “Do everything they say to
you,” the Lord replied, “for they are rejecting me, not you.
They don’t want me to be their king any
longer.
8 Ever since I brought them from Egypt they have continually abandoned me and followed other
gods.
And now they are giving you the same treatment.
9 Do as they ask, but solemnly warn them about the
way a king will reign over them.”
Samuel Warns against a Kingdom
10
So Samuel passed on the Lord’s warning to the people who were asking him for a king.11
“This is how a king
will reign over you,” Samuel said.
“The king will draft your sons and assign them to his chariots and his
charioteers, making them run before his chariots.
12 Some will be generals and captains in his army,[a] some
will be forced to plow in his fields and harvest his crops, and some will make his weapons and chariot
equipment.
13 The king will take your daughters from you and force them to cook and bake and make
perfumes for him.14
He will take away the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them
to his own officials.
15 He will take a tenth of your grain and your grape harvest and distribute it among his
officers and attendants.
16 He will take your male and female slaves and demand the finest of your
