Contextual Overview
4 Then all the leaders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. 5 They said to him, "See, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Choose a king to rule over us like all the nations." 6 But Samuel was not pleased when they said, "Give us a king to rule over us." And Samuel prayed to the Lord. 7 The Lord said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in all they say to you. For they have not turned away from you. They have turned away from Me, that I should not be king over them. 8 They are doing to you what they have done since the day I brought them out of Egypt until now. They have turned away from Me and worshiped other gods. 9 So listen to their voice. But tell them of the danger and show them the ways of the king who will rule over them." 10 So Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who had asked him for a king. 11 He said, "This will be the way the king will rule over you. He will take your sons and make them drive his war-wagons, be his horsemen, and run in front of his war-wagons. 12 He will choose leaders of thousands and of fifties. He will choose men to plow his ground, gather his grain, and make objects for war and for his war-wagons. 13 He will take your daughters to make perfume, work with the food, and make bread.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards,.... Which includes the whole increase of their land, their corn, and wine, and oil; and it is these, the fruits of their fields, vineyards, and oliveyards, which are here meant; for otherwise kings might not, and did not by their absolute authority, take away those from their subjects; otherwise Ahab would have taken away Naboth's vineyard at once, nor would Jezebel have needed to have taken such a method she did, to put Ahab into the possession of it:
even the best of them, and give them to his servants; for their service; and which some restrain to times of war, when necessity obliged to use such methods.
