1 SAMUEL 8:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.”
And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots—the king will *shiym* (appoint) *sarrim* (officials) and appropriate *adamt* (fields) and labor (*qatzir*, harvest, *asher*, equipment) for royal purposes. The king becomes *lord* (*ba'al*) of the people's productive capacity.
