וְלַחֲרֹ֤שׁ חֲרִישׁוֹ֙ וְלִקְצֹ֣ר קְצִיר֔וֹ וְלַעֲשׂ֥וֹת כְּלֵֽי־מִלְחַמְתּ֖וֹ וּכְלֵ֥י רִכְבּֽוֹ

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and he will force some of them to plow his fields and harvest his crops, and he will force others to make weapons for his army and equipment for his chariots]
Note 2 topic: writing-poetry
וְלַחֲרֹ֤שׁ חֲרִישׁוֹ֙ וְלִקְצֹ֣ר קְצִיר֔וֹ
and,to,plow ground_of,his and,to,reap harvest_of,his
For emphasis, Samuel is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [and to do all his plowing and all his harvesting]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
רִכְבּֽוֹ
chariots_of,his
Samuel is not referring to a specific chariot. He means chariots in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [his chariots]
8:1–12:25 During Israel’s transition to a monarchy, neither God (8:7-9) nor Samuel (12:1-25) was pleased by the people’s demand for a king. Saul, the first king (chs 9–11), failed in his role (chs 13–31) and fulfilled Samuel’s warnings (see 8:10-18; cp. 16:1-13).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
