1 Samuel 8:11-22

11He saidH559, “1ThisH2088 will be the 2procedureH4941 of the kingH4428 whoH834 will reignH4427 overH5921 you: 3he will takeH3947 your sonsH1121 and placeH7760 them for himself in his chariotsH4818 and among his horsemenH6571 and 4they will runH7323 beforeH6440 his chariotsH4818. 125He will appointH7760 for himself commandersH8269 of thousandsH505 and of fiftiesH2572, and some to 6doH2790 his plowingH2758 and to reapH7114 his harvestH7105 and to makeH6213 his weaponsH3627 of warH4421 and equipmentH3627 for his chariotsH7393. 13He will also takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 for perfumersH7548 and cooksH2879 and bakersH644. 147He will takeH3947 the bestH2896 of your fieldsH7704 and your vineyardsH3754 and your oliveH2132 grovesH2132 and giveH5414 them to his servantsH5650. 15He will takeH6237 a tenthH6237 of your seedH2233 and of your vineyardsH3754 and giveH5414 to his officersH5631 and to his servantsH5650. 16He will also takeH3947 your maleH5650 servantsH5650 and your femaleH8198 servantsH8198 and your bestH2896 youngH970 menH970 and your donkeysH2543 and 8useH6213 them for his workH4399. 17He will takeH6237 a tenthH6237 of your flocksH6629, and you yourselvesH864 will becomeH1961 his servantsH5650. 18Then 9you will cryH2199 out in that dayH3117 becauseH4480H6440 of your kingH4428 whomH834 you have chosenH977 for yourselves, but 10the LordH3068 will not answerH6030 you in that dayH3117.”

19Nevertheless, the peopleH5971 11refusedH3985 to listenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of SamuelH8050, and they saidH559, “NoH3808, but there shall be a kingH4428 overH5921 us, 2012that we alsoH1571 may be like allH3605 the nationsH1471, that our kingH4428 may judgeH8199 us and goH3318 out beforeH6440 us and fightH3898 our battlesH4421.” 21Now after SamuelH8050 had heardH8085 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the peopleH5971, 13he repeatedH1696 them in the Lord’sH3068 hearingH241. 22The LordH3068 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, “14ListenH8085 to their voiceH6963 and 15appointH4427 them a kingH4428.” So SamuelH8050 saidH559 to the menH376 of IsraelH3478, “GoH1980 everyH376 manH376 to his cityH5892.”
