1 Samuel 12
And
Samuel
said
unto
all
Israel,
Behold,
I
have
hearkened
unto
your
voice
in
all
that
ye
said
unto
me,
and
have
made
a
king
over
you.
2 And
now,
behold,
the
king
walketh
before
you:
and
I
am
old
and
grayheaded;
and,
behold,
my
sons
are
with
you:
and
I
have
a
walked
before
you
from
my
childhood
unto
this
day.
3 Behold,
here
I
am:
witness
against
me
before
the
Lord,
and
before
his
anointed:
whose
ox
have
I
taken?
or
whose
ass
have
I
taken?
or
whom
have
I
a
defrauded?
whom
have
I
oppressed?
or
of
whose
hand
have
I
received
any
b
bribe
to
blind
mine
eyes
therewith?
and
I
will
restore
it
you.
4 And
they
said,
Thou
hast
not
defrauded
us,
nor
oppressed
us,
neither
hast
thou
taken
ought
of
any
man's
hand.
5 And
he
said
unto
them,
The
Lord
is
witness
against
you,
and
his
anointed
is
witness
this
day,
that
ye
have
not
found
ought
in
my
hand.
And
they
answered,
He
is
witness.
6 And
Samuel
said
unto
the
people,
It
is
the
Lord
that
a
advanced
Moses
and
Aaron,
and
that
brought
your
fathers
up
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt.
7 Now
therefore
stand
still,
that
I
may
a
reason
with
you
before
the
Lord
of
all
the
righteous
acts
of
the
Lord,
which
he
did
to
you
and
to
your
fathers.
8 When
Jacob
was
come
into
Egypt,
and
your
fathers
a
cried
unto
the
Lord,
then
the
Lord
sent
Moses
and
Aaron,
which
brought
forth
your
fathers
out
of
Egypt,
and
made
them
dwell
in
this
place.
9 And
when
they
forgat
the
Lord
their
God,
he
sold
them
into
the
hand
of
Sisera,
captain
of
the
host
of
Hazor,
and
into
the
hand
of
the
Philistines,
and
into
the
hand
of
the
king
of
Moab,
and
they
fought
against
them.
10 And
they
cried
unto
the
Lord,
and
said,
We
have
sinned,
because
we
have
forsaken
the
Lord,
and
have
served
Baalim
and
Ashtaroth:
but
now
deliver
us
out
of
the
hand
of
our
enemies,
and
we
will
serve
thee.
11 And
the
Lord
sent
a
Jerubbaal,
and
Bedan,
and
b
Jephthah,
and
Samuel,
and
delivered
you
out
of
the
hand
of
your
enemies
on
every
side,
and
ye
dwelled
safe.
12 And
when
ye
saw
that
Nahash
the
king
of
the
children
of
Ammon
came
against
you,
ye
said
unto
me,
Nay;
but
a
king
shall
reign
over
us:
when
the
Lord
your
God
was
your
a
king.
