וַיֵּ֨צְא֜וּ אַנְשֵׁ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ מִן־הַמִּצְפָּ֔ה וַֽיִּרְדְּפ֖וּ אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וַיַּכּ֕וּם עַד־מִתַּ֖חַת לְבֵ֥ית כָּֽר׃
Lalu orang-orang Israel keluar dari Mizpa dan mengejar orang Filistin. Mereka memukul kalah orang Filistin sampai ke bawah Bet-Kar.
Mishneh Torah, Kings and Wars
The king has the right to levy a tax for his own needs or for wars, and to set rates for the tax. It is forbidden to avoid paying his tax. The king has the right to decree that anyone who fails to pay his taxes can have his property confiscated or he can be executed, as it says, “and you shall be slaves unto him” (I Samuel 8:17). Further, it says, “and they shall be for you a tribute, and they shall serve you” (Deut. 20:11). From here we learn that he can levy a tax and set the rates for the tax. His laws in these, and all similar matters, are binding. For the king is entitled to everything about which is written in the Chapter Regarding Kings25I Samuel 8..
