1 Samuel 8:10-12

10So Samuel spoke all the words of the Lord to 1the people who had asked of him a king.

11He said, “2This will be the 3procedure of the king who will reign over you: 4he will take your sons and place them for himself in his chariots and among his horsemen and 5they will run before his chariots.

126He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and of fifties, and some to 7do his plowing and to reap his harvest and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.
