and the Lord . "Hitherto ," says Puffendorf , "the people of Israel had lived under governors raised up by God , who had exacted no tribute of them , nor put them to any charge; but little content with this form of government , they desire to have a king like other nations , who should live in magnificence and pomp , keep armies , and be able to resist any invasion. Samuel informs them what it was they desired; that , when they understood it , they might consider whether they would persist in their choice. If they would have a king splendidly attended , he tells them that he would take their sons for his chariots , etc. . if they would have him keep up constant forces , then he would appoint them for colonels and captains , and employ those in his wars who were accustomed to follow their family business; and since , after the manner of other kings , he must keep a stately court , they must be content that their daughters should serve in several offices , which the king would think below the dignity of his wives and daughters . 1 Samuel 8 . 13. In one word , that , to sustain his dignity , their king would exact the tenth of all they possessed , and be maintained in a royal manner out of their estates."
