1 Samuel 8:11-18

11“This will be the practice of the king that will reign over you,” he said. “He will draft your sons and assign them as his charioteers and horsemen, and they will run before his chariots.

12He will appoint them as commanders of thousands and captains of fifties, also some to plow his fields, reap his harvest, make his weapons of war and the equipment for his chariots.

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

14He will seize the best of your fields, vineyards and olive groves, and give them to his courtiers.

15He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage and give it to his officials and slaves.

16He will also take your male and female servants, your best young men and your donkeys and make them do his work.

17He will also take the tenth of your flocks. Then you yourselves will become his slaves.

18When the day comes and you cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, Adonai will not answer you on that day.”
