⁸ According to all the ma’asim which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Mitzrayim even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken Me, and served elohim acherim, so do they also unto thee.

⁹ Now therefore pay heed unto their voice; howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and show them the mishpat hamelech (customary ways of the king, kingly perogative) that shall reign over them.

¹⁰ And Shmuel told all the Divrei Hashem unto the people that asked of him a Melech.

¹¹ And he said, This will be the mishpat hamelech that shall reign over you: he will take your banim, and appoint them for himself for his merkavah and his parashim; and some shall run before his merkavah.

¹² And he will appoint for him sarei elafim, and sarei chamishim and will set them to plow his ground, and to reap his katzir (harvest), and to make his instruments of war, and his chariot equipment.

¹³ And he will take your banot to be perfumers, and to be tabakhot (cooks) and ofe’ot (bakers).

¹⁴ And he will take your fields, and your kramim (vineyards), and your olive groves, even the best of them, and give them to his avadim.

¹⁵ And he will take the tenth of your zera, and of your kramim (vines), and give to his officers, and to his avadim.

¹⁶ And he will take your avadim, and your shifchot, and your finest bochurim, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.

¹⁷ He will take the tenth of your tzon; and ye shall be his avadim.

¹⁸ And ye shall cry out in that day because of your melech which ye shall have chosen for you; and Hashem will not hear you in that day.
