Samuel’s Warning

10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.

10:

11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint [them] for himself, for his chariots, and [to be] his horsemen; and [some] shall run before his chariots.

11:

12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and [will set them] to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.

12:

13 And he will take your daughters [to be] confectionaries, and [to be] cooks, and [to be] bakers.

13:

14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, [even] the best [of them], and give [them] to his servants.

14:

15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.

15:

16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put [them] to his work.

16:

17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.

17:

18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.

18:
