1 Samuel 8:16-18

New Living Translation

¹⁶ He will take your male and female slaves and demand the finest of your cattle^[a] and donkeys for his own use. ¹⁷ He will demand a tenth of your flocks, and you will be his slaves. ¹⁸ When that day comes, you will beg for relief from this king you are demanding, but then the Lord will not help you.”
