7. Then the Lord said to Samuel: "Listen to the voice of the people in all that they are saying to you. For they have not rejected you, but me, lest I reign over them.
8. In accord with all their works, which they have done from the day when I led them away from Egypt, even to this day: just as they have forsaken me, and served foreign gods, so now they also do to you.
9. Now therefore, hear their voice. Yet truly, testify to them and foretell to them the rights of the king who will reign over them."
10. And so, Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people, who had petitioned a king from him.
11. And he said: "This will be the right of the king who will have authority over you: He will take your sons, and place them in his chariots. And he will make them his horsemen and his runners before his four-horse chariots.
12. And he will appoint them to be his tribunes and centurions, and the plowmen of his fields, and the harvesters of the grain, and the makers of his weapons and chariots.
13. Likewise, your daughters he will take for himself as makers of ointments, and as cooks and bakers.
14. Also, he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best olive groves, and he will give them to his servants.
