1 Samuel 8:14

14 Il prendra aussi vos champs, vos vignes et vos oliviers les meilleurs, et les donnera à ses serviteurs.

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 Il les prendra aussi pour en faire ses chefs de milliers, et ses chefs de cinquantaines; pour labourer ses champs, pour récolter sa moisson, et pour faire ses instruments de guerre, et l'attirail de ses chars.

13 Il prendra aussi vos filles, pour en faire des parfumeuses, des cuisinières, et des boulangères;

14 Il prendra aussi vos champs, vos vignes et vos oliviers les meilleurs, et les donnera à ses serviteurs.

15 Il lèvera la dîme de vos grains et de vos vignes, et la donnera à ses eunuques et à ses serviteurs;

16 Il prendra vos serviteurs et vos servantes, et l'élite de vos jeunes gens, et vos ânes, et les emploiera à ses ouvrages;
