1 SAMUEL 8:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.”
And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves; but the LORD will not answer you in that day—the *tz'akah* (cry of anguish) will arise when the true cost of kingship becomes apparent. *Lo yishmea* (the LORD will not hear) because they rejected the LORD's kingship; their rebellion incurs divine *refusal* to intervene.
