1 Samuel 8:11-20

11And he saidH559, This will be the mannerH4941 of the kingH4428 that shall reignH4427 over youH834: he will takeH3947 your sonsH1121, and appointH7760 them unto him, for his chariotsH4818, and to be his horsemenH6571; and they shall runH7323 beforeH6440 his chariotsH4818:

12and he will appointH7760 them unto him for captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and captainsH8269 of fiftiesH2572; and he will setH7760 some to plowH2790 his ground, and to reapH7114 his harvestH7105, and to makeH7760 his instrumentsH3627 of warH4421, and the instrumentsH3627 of his chariotsH7393.

13And he will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to be confectionaries, and to be cooksH2879, and to be bakersH644.

14And he will takeH3947 your fieldsH7704, and your vineyardsH3754, and your oliveyards, evenH853 the bestH2896 of them, and giveH5414 them to his servantsH5650.

15And he will takeH6237 the tenthH6237 of your seedH2233, and of your vineyardsH3754, and giveH5414 to his officersH5631, and to his servantsH5650.

16And he will takeH3947 your menservants, and your maidservantsH8198, and your goodliest youngH970 menH970, and your asses, and putH3947 them to his workH4399.

17He will takeH1961 the tenthH6237 of your flocksH6629: and ye shall be his servantsH5650.

18And ye shall cryH2199 outH2199 in that dayH3117 becauseH834 of your kingH4428 whichH834 ye shall have chosenH977 youH834; and the LORDH3068 will notH3808 answerH6030 youH834 in that dayH3117.

19But the peopleH5971 refusedH3985 to hearken unto the voiceH6963 of SamuelH8050; and they saidH559, Nay; but weH3588 will have a kingH4428 over usH5921;

20that weH587 also may be like allH3605 the nationsH1471; and that our kingH4428 may judgeH8199 usH6440, and goH3318 outH3318 beforeH6440 usH6440, and fightH3898 our battlesH4421.
