1 Samuel 8:10-12

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁰ So, Samuel told all the Words of the LORD to the people who asked for a king from Him.

¹¹ And he said, “This shall be the behavior of the king who shall reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen. And some shall run before his chariot.

¹² “Also, he will make them his captains over thousands, and captains over fifties, and to plow his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make instruments of war, and the things that serve for his chariots.
