9 Now therefore hearken to their voice: yet protest solemnly to them, and show them the manner of the king that will reign over them.
10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people that asked of him a king.
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] will run before his chariots.
12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and [will set them] to till his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
13 And he will take your daughters [to be] confectioneries, and [to be] cooks, and [to be] bakers.
