14 He will take your best fields, vineyards, and olive groves and give them to his servants.
15 He will take one-tenth of your grain and grapes and give it to his officers and servants.
16 He will take your male and female servants, your best cattle, and your donkeys and use them all for his own work.
17 He will take one-tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.
18 When that time comes, you will cry out because of the king you chose. But the Lord will not answer you then.”
19 But the people would not listen to Samuel. They said, “No! We want a king to rule over us.
20 Then we will be the same as all the other nations. Our king will judge for us and go with us and fight our battles.”
