16He will take your men-servants and your servant-girls, and the best of your oxen and your asses and put them to his work.
17He will take a tenth of your sheep: and you will be his servants.

19But the people gave no attention to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No, but we will have a king over us,
20So that we may be like the other nations, and so that our king may be our judge and go out before us to war.
21Then Samuel, after hearing all the people had to say, went and gave an account of it to the Lord.
22And the Lord said to Samuel, Give ear to their voice and make a king for them. Then Samuel said to the men of Israel, Let every man go back to his town.
