1 Samuel 8:8-11 Common English Bible (CEB)

8. They are doing to you only what they’ve been doing to me from the day I brought them out of Egypt to this very minute, abandoning me and worshipping other gods.

9. So comply with their request, but give them a clear warning, telling them how the king will rule over them."

10. Then Samuel explained everything the Lord had said to the people who were asking for a king.

11. "This is how the king will rule over you," Samuel said:"He will take your sons, and will use them for his chariots and his cavalry and as runners for his chariot.
