Shmuel Alef 8:10-12

Orthodox Jewish Bible

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.
