1 Samuel 8:14-22

14He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants.

15He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants.

16He will take your male servants and female servants and the best of your young men and your donkeys, and put them to his work.

17He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves.

18And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you in that day."

19But the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel. And they said, "No! But there shall be a king over us,

20that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles."

21And when Samuel had heard all the words of the people, he repeated them in the ears of the Lord.

22And the Lord said to Samuel, "Obey their voice and make them a king." Samuel then said to the men of Israel, "Go every man to his city."
