16 Il prendra vos serviteurs et vos servantes, vos meilleurs bœufs et vos ânes, et s’en servira pour ses travaux.

17 Il prendra la dîme de vos troupeaux, et vous-mêmes serez ses esclaves.

18 Et alors vous crierez contre votre roi que vous vous serez choisi, mais l’Éternel ne vous exaucera point.

19 Le peuple refusa d’écouter la voix de Samuel. Non! Dirent-ils, mais il y aura un roi sur nous,

20 et nous aussi nous serons comme toutes les nations; notre roi nous jugera il marchera à notre tête et conduira nos guerres.
