1 Samuel 8:10-18
10And Samuel spoke all the words of Jehovah to the people that asked of him a king.
11And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, on his chariot and among his horsemen, and they shall run before his chariots;
12and [he will take them] that he may appoint for himself captains over thousands, and captains over fifties, and that they may plough his ground, and reap his harvest, and make his instruments of war and instruments of his chariots.
13And he will take your daughters for perfumers, and cooks, and bakers.
14And your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, the best, will he take and give to his servants.
15And he will take the tenth of your seed and of your vineyards, and give to his chamberlains and to his servants.
16And he will take your bondmen, and your bondwomen, and your comeliest young men, and your asses, and use them for his work.
17He will take the tenth of your sheep. And ye shall be his servants.
18And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king whom ye have chosen; and Jehovah will not answer you in that day.
