1 Samuel 22:7 shows Saul accusing David of not giving fields—echoing the king's power to distribute land, contrasting Samuel's warning of taking.

Nehemiah 5:15 describes former governors taking bread, wine, and silver from the people—a direct parallel to the king taking tithes in Samuel's warning.

Genesis 47:24 records Joseph instituting a fifth of produce for Pharaoh—a parallel to the king taking a tenth for his officers. Both are crop taxation.

Hebrews 7:2 mentions Abraham giving a tenth to Melchizedek—contrasting with the king taking a tenth from the people here.
