1 Samuel 8:12 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 8:12

10 So Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who asked him for a king.

11 And he said, ^a“This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your ^bsons and appoint them for his own ^cchariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots.

12 He will ^aappoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers.

14 And ^ahe will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and give them to his servants.

15 He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage, and give it to his officers and servants.

16 And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest¹ young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.
