1 SAMUEL 8:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.”
He will also take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers—the *banot* (daughters) are conscripted into *royal service*, demarcating the loss of family autonomy. The *rehutz*, *tabbachot*, and *ofot* (perfumers, cooks, bakers) are the personal retinue of royal luxury.
