8As they have done from the first, from the day when I took them out of Egypt till this day, turning away from me and worshipping other gods, so now they are acting in the same way to you.
9Give ear now to their voice: but make a serious protest to them, and give them a picture of the sort of king who will be their ruler.
10And Samuel said all these words of the Lord to the people who were desiring a king.
11And he said, This is the sort of king who will be your ruler: he will take your sons and make them his servants, his horsemen, and drivers of his war-carriages, and they will go running before his war-carriages;
12And he will make them captains of thousands and of fifties; some he will put to work ploughing and cutting his grain and making his instruments of war and building his war-carriages.
13Your daughters he will take to be makers of perfumes and cooks and bread-makers.
14He will take your fields and your vine-gardens and your olive-gardens, all the best of them, and give them to his servants.
