And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
Y tomará la décima parte de vuestras cosechas de grano y de vuestras uvas, y las dará a sus funcionarios y sirvientes.

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of 1 Samuel, the Israelites were demanding a king to lead them like the surrounding nations, despite God's role as their ultimate ruler through judges like Samuel. Samuel warned them about the downsides of monarchy, drawing from the practices of ancient Near Eastern kings who imposed heavy taxes and demands on their people. This verse specifically describes how a king would take a tenth of the people's crops and vineyards to support his court, illustrating the burdensome reality of centralized power in that era.
