16 And he shal take your men seruauntes, and maide seruauntes, young men, and the chiefe of your asses, and put them to his worke. 17 And he shall take the tenth of your sheepe, and ye shall be his seruauntes. 18 And ye shall crie out at that time, because of your king whiche ye shall haue chosen you, & the Lorde wil not heare you at that day. 19 Neuerthelesse, the people woulde not heare the voyce of Samuel, but did say, Nay, not so: But there shalbe a king ouer vs, 20 That we may be lyke other nations, and that our king may iudge vs, and go out before vs, and fight our battailes. 21 Therfore when Samuel hearde all the wordes of the people, he rehearsed them in the eares of the Lord. 22 And the Lord sayd to Samuel: Hearken vnto their voyce, and make them a king. And Samuel said vnto the men of Israel: Go euery man vnto his citie. 1 Samuel 8:16-22, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
