Being the king's slave is spoken of as being an animal onto the shoulders of which the king puts a yoke so it can do heavy work. See how similar words are translated in [Jeremiah 27:8](./08.md). Alternate translation: "the nation whose people willingly becomes slaves of the king" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
