1 Samuel 8:14

14 Tomará o melhor das vossas terras, das vossas vinhas e dos vossos elivais, e o dará aos seus servos.

1 Samuel 8:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 8:14

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.

1 Samuel 8:14 In-Context

12 e os porá por chefes de mil e chefes de cinqüenta, para lavrarem os seus campos, fazerem as suas colheitas e fabricarem as suas armas de guerra e os petrechos de seus carros.
13 Tomará as vossas filhas para perfumistas, cozinheiras e padeiras.
14 Tomará o melhor das vossas terras, das vossas vinhas e dos vossos elivais, e o dará aos seus servos.
15 Tomará e dízimo das vossas sementes e das vossas vinhas, para dar aos seus oficiais e aos seus servos.
16 Também os vossos servos e as vossas servas, e os vossos melhores mancebos, e os vossos jumentos tomará, e os empregará no seu trabalho.
