1 Samuel 8:14-22
14And he will takeH3947 your fieldsH7704, and your vineyardsH3754, and your oliveyards, even the bestH2896 of them, and giveH5414 them to his servantsH5650. 15And he will takeH6237 the tenthH6237 of your seedH2233, and of your vineyardsH3754, and giveH5414 to his officers, and to his servantsH5650. 16And he will takeH3947 your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and your goodliest youngH970 menH970, and your asses, and put them to his workH4399. 17He will take the tenthH6237 of your flocksH6629: and ye shall beH1961 his servantsH5650. 18And ye shall cryH2199 out in that dayH3117 because of your kingH4428 whom ye shall have chosenH977 you; and Jehovah will not answerH6030 you in that dayH3117.
19But the peopleH5971 refusedH3985 to hearken unto the voiceH6963 of SamuelH8050; and they saidH559, Nay: but we will have a kingH4428 over us, 20that we alsoH1571 may beH1961 like all the nationsH1471, and that our kingH4428 may judgeH8199 us, and goH3318 out before us, and fightH3898 our battlesH4421. 21And SamuelH8050 heardH8085 all the wordsH1697 of the peopleH5971, and he rehearsed them in the earsH241 of Jehovah. 22And Jehovah saidH559 to SamuelH8050, Hearken unto their voiceH6963, and makeH8085 them a kingH4428. And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the menH376 of IsraelH3478, Go ye every manH376 unto his cityH5892.
