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 the tenth of your seed,.... When grown up and ripe, as their wheat and barley:
and of your vineyards; the tenth of the grapes they should produce:
and give to his officers, and to his servants; for the support and maintenance of them; and to pay this, besides the tithes of the priests and Levites, would make it very burdensome to them; and this was no other than what kings of other nations usually had, the like to whom they were desirous of having, and therefore must expect that they would insist upon the privileges and revenues that others had. In Babylon, as Aristotle g relates, there was an ancient law which required the tenth of whatever was imported for the public revenue, which was revived in the times of Alexander by Antimenes the Rhodian. In Arabia Felix was an island abounding with frankincense and myrrh, and various spices, the tenth of the fruits of which the king always had, as Diodorus Siculus h reports, as in the Apocrypha:
"And as for other things that belong unto us, of the tithes and customs pertaining unto us, as also the saltpits, and the crown taxes, which are due unto us, we discharge them of them all for their relief.'' (1 Maccabees 11:35)
