Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field.

Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants.He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants.Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use.He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.

Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds;for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in,the lambs will provide you with clothing, and the goats with the price of a field.You will have plenty of goats’ milk to feed your family and to nourish your female servants.
