1 Samuel 8:9-18

9Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them, and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them.”

10So Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who asked him for a king.

11And he said, “This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots.

12He will appoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

13He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers.

14And he will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and give them to his servants.

15He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage, and give it to his officers and servants.

16And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.

17He will take a tenth of your sheep. And you will be his servants.

18And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.”
