10So Samuel spoke all the words of Yahweh to the people who were asking him for a king.

11He said, “This will be the custom of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and assign them to his chariots and among his horsemen, and they will run before his chariots.”

12He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and to make his weapons of war and the equipment of his chariots.
