1 Samuel 8:10-18

10So Samuel spoke all the words of the Lord to 1the people who had asked him for a king. 11And he said, “2This will be the 3practice of the king who will reign over you: 4he will take your sons and put them in his chariots for himself and among his horsemen, and 5they will run before his chariots. 126He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to 7do his plowing and to gather in his harvest, and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13He will also take your daughters and use them as perfumers, cooks, and bakers. 148He will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and give them to his servants. 15And he will take a tenth of your seed and your vineyards and give it to his high officials and his servants. 16He will also take your male servants and your female servants, and your best young men, and your donkeys, and 9use them for his work. 17He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants. 18Then 10you will cry out on that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but 11the Lord will not answer you on that day.”
