9And nowH6258 hearken unto their voiceH6963; onlyH389, testify solemnly unto them, and declareH5046 unto them the manner of the kingH4428 that shall reignH4427 over them.
10And SamuelH8050 spoke all the wordsH1697 of Jehovah to the peopleH5971 that askedH7592 of him a kingH4428.
11And he saidH559, This will beH1961 the manner of the kingH4428 that shall reignH4427 over you: he will takeH3947 your sonsH1121, and appointH7760 them for himself, on his chariotH4818 and among his horsemenH6571, and they shall runH7323 before his chariotsH4818;
12and [he will take them] that he may appointH7760 for himself captains over thousandsH505, and captains over fiftiesH2572, and that they may plough his ground, and reapH7114 his harvestH7105, and makeH7760 his instrumentsH3627 of warH4421 and instrumentsH3627 of his chariotsH7393.
13And he will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 for perfumers, and cooks, and bakersH644.
14And your fieldsH7704, and your vineyardsH3754, and your oliveyards, the bestH2896, will he takeH3947 and giveH5414 to his servantsH5650.
15And he will takeH6237 the tenthH6237 of your seedH2233 and of your vineyardsH3754, and giveH5414 to his chamberlains and to his servantsH5650.
16And he will takeH3947 your bondmen, and your bondwomen, and your comeliest youngH970 menH970, and your asses, and use them for his workH4399.
17He will take the tenthH6237 of your sheepH6629. And ye shall beH1961 his servantsH5650.
18And ye shall cryH2199 out in that dayH3117 because of your kingH4428 whom ye have chosenH977; and Jehovah will not answerH6030 you in that dayH3117.
