1 Samuel 8:18 in Context — 1 Samuel 8

16 Ele tomará vossos servos, e vossas servas, e vossos bons rapazes, e vossos asnos, e com eles fará suas obras.

17 Tomará o dízimo também do vosso rebanho, e sereis seus servos.

18 E clamareis aquele dia por causa de vosso rei que vos havereis escolhido, mas o SENHOR não vos ouvirá naquele dia.

19 Porém o povo não quis ouvir a voz de Samuel; antes disseram: Não, mas sim que haverá rei sobre nós:

20 E nós seremos também como todas as nações, e nosso rei nos governará, e sairá diante de nós, e fará nossas guerras.
