10 E disse Samuel todas as palavras do SENHOR ao povo que lhe havia pedido rei.
11 Disse, pois: Este será o direito do rei que houver de reinar sobre vós: tomará vossos filhos, e os porá em seus carros, e em seus cavaleiros, para que corram diante de seu carro:
12 E se escolherá capitães de mil, e capitães de cinquenta: os porá também a que arem seus campos, e ceifem suas plantações, e a que façam suas armas de guerra, e os equipamentos de seus carros:
13 Tomará também vossas filhas para que sejam perfumistas, cozinheiras, e padeiras.
14 Também tomará vossas terras, vossas vinhas, e vossos bons olivais, e os dará a seus servos.
