Shmuel Alef 8:9-11

Orthodox Jewish Bible

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.
