5:9 The produce of the earth is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.

Produce from the land benefits everyone. The king himself is supported ⌊by his share⌋ from the fields.
-or-
And since the king is the highest official, he benefits most from the taxes paid on the land. (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
People grow food on their land and must give parts of it ⌊as tax⌋ to their rulers. Even the king gets something from each field.
