1 SAMUEL 8:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the people that asked of him a king.”
And he said: These will be the ways of the king who shall reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen, and some shall run before his chariots—the *melek* (king) will *laqach* (take) the people's *benim* (sons) for *merkavot* (chariots) and cavalry. The *qtzin* (military apparatus) appropriates human capital for royal service.
