16 And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest1 young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.
17 He will take a tenth of your sheep. And you will be his servants.
18 And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord awill not hear you in that day.”
19 Nevertheless the people arefused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No, but we will have a king over us,
20 that we also may be alike all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.”
