11. And he said, These will be the ways of the king who shall reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots.
12. He will appoint them for himself to be commanders over thousands and over fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest and to make his implements of war and equipment for his chariots.
13. He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers.
14. He will take your fields, your vineyards, and your olive orchards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
15. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants.
16. He will take your men and women servants and the best of your cattle and your donkeys and put them to his work.
17. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves shall be his slaves.
18. In that day you will cry out because of your king you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not hear you then.
19. Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, No! We will have a king over us,
20. That we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may govern us and go out before us and fight our battles.
21. Samuel heard all the people's words and repeated them in the Lord's ears.
22. And the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken to their voice and appoint them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go every man to his city.
