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. 21And SamuelH8050 heardH8085 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of the peopleH5971, and he rehearsed them in the earsH241 of the LORDH3068. 22And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, Hearken unto their voiceH6963, and makeH8085 them a kingH4428. And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the menH376 of IsraelH3478, Go ye everyH376 manH376 unto his cityH5892.
