9Now therefore hearkenH8085 to their voiceH6963: yet protestH5749 solemnlyH5749 to them, and showH5046 them the mannerH4941 of the kingH4428 that shall reignH4427 over them.12 10And SamuelH8050 toldH559 all the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 to the peopleH5971 that askedH7592 of him a kingH4428. 11And he saidH559, This will be the mannerH4941 of the kingH4428 that shall reignH4427 over you: He will takeH3947 your sonsH1121, and appointH7760 them for himself, for his chariotsH4818, and to be his horsemenH6571; and some shall runH7323 beforeH6440 his chariotsH4818. 12And he will appointH7760 him captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over fiftiesH2572; and will set them to tillH2790 his groundH2758, and to reapH7114 his harvestH7105, and to makeH6213 his instrumentsH3627 of warH4421, and instrumentsH3627 of his chariotsH7393. 13And he will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to be perfumersH7548, and to be cooksH2879, and to be bakersH644. 14And he will takeH3947 your fieldsH7704, and your vineyardsH3754, and your oliveyardsH2132, even the bestH2896 of them, and giveH5414 them to his servantsH5650. 15And he will take the tenthH6237 of your seedH2233, and of your vineyardsH3754, and giveH5414 to his officersH5631, and to his servantsH5650.3 16And he will takeH3947 your male servantsH5650, and your female servantsH8198, and your most choiceH2896 young menH970, and your donkeysH2543, and putH6213 them to his workH4399. 17He will take the tenthH6237 of your sheepH6629: and ye shall be his servantsH5650. 18And ye shall cry outH2199 in that dayH3117 becauseH6440 of your kingH4428 which ye shall have chosenH977 for yourselves; and the LORDH3068 will not hearH6030 you in that dayH3117.
