1Sa 1 Samuel, chapter First Book of Samuel, chapter 12
And Samuel says to all Israel, “Behold, I have listened to yöur voice, to all that yöu said to me, and I cause a king to reign over yöu, and now, behold, the king is habitually walking before yöu, and I have become aged and gray-headed, and my sons, behold, they [are] with yöu, and I have habitually walked before yöu from my youth until this day. Behold, here I [am]; testify against me before YHWH, and before His anointed; whose ox have I taken, and whose donkey have I taken, and whom have I oppressed; whom have I bruised, and of whose hand have I taken a ransom, and hide my eyes with it? And I restore [it] to yöu.” And they say, “You have not oppressed us, nor have you crushed us, nor have you taken anything from the hand of anyone.” And he says to them, “YHWH [is] a witness against yöu, and His anointed [is] a witness this day, that yöu have not found anything in my hand”; and they say, “A witness.” And Samuel says to the people, “YHWH [is] He who made Moses and Aaron, and who brought up yöur fathers out of the land of Egypt! And now, station yourselves, and I judge yöu before YHWH, with all the righteous acts of YHWH, which He did with yöu, and with yöur fathers. When Jacob has come to Egypt, and yöur fathers cry to YHWH, then YHWH sends Moses and Aaron, and they bring out yöur fathers from Egypt, and cause them to dwell in this place, and they forget their God YHWH, and He sells them into the hand of Sisera, head of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fight against them, and they cry to YHWH, and say, We have sinned, because we have forsaken YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim, and Ashtaroth, and now, deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we serve You. And YHWH sends Jerubba‘al, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivers yöu out of the hand of yöur surrounding enemies, and yöu dwell confidently. And yöu see that Nahash king of the sons of Ammon has come against yöu, and yöu say to me, No, but a king reigns over us; and yöur God YHWH [is] yöur king! And now, behold the king whom yöu have chosen—whom yöu have asked for! And behold, YHWH has placed a king over yöu. If yöu fear YHWH, and have served Him, and listened to His voice, then yöu do not provoke the mouth of YHWH, and yöu have been—both yöu and the king who has reigned over yöu—after yöur God YHWH. And if yöu do not listen to the voice of YHWH—then yöu have provoked the mouth of YHWH, and the hand of YHWH has been against yöu, and against yöur fathers. Also now, station yourselves and see this great thing which YHWH is doing before yöur eyes; is it not wheat-harvest today? I call to YHWH, and He gives voices and rain; and know and see that yöur evil is great which yöu have done in the eyes of YHWH, to ask [for] a king for yourselves.” And Samuel calls to YHWH, and YHWH gives voices and rain on that day, and all the people greatly fear YHWH and Samuel; and all the people say to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to your God YHWH, and we do not die, for we have added evil to all our sins to ask [for] a king for ourselves.” And Samuel says to the people, “Do not fear; yöu have done all this evil; only, do not turn aside from after YHWH—and yöu have served YHWH with all yöur heart, and yöu do not turn aside after the vain things which do not profit nor deliver, for they [are] vain, for YHWH does not leave His people, on account of His great Name; for YHWH has been pleased to make yöu for a people to Him. I, also, far be it from me to sin against YHWH, by ceasing to pray for yöu, and I have directed yöu in the good and upright way; only, fear YHWH, and yöu have served Him in truth with all yöur heart, for see that which He has made great with yöu; and if yöu really do evil, both yöu and yöur king are consumed.”
