1 Samuel 12:1-3

International Standard Version

Samuel’s Farewell

12 Then Samuel told all Israel, “Take note! I’ve listened to you, to everything you have told me, and I’ve appointed a king over you. ² Now here is the king walking before you,^[a] while I’m old and gray, and my sons are with you. I’ve walked before you^[b] from my youth until this day. ³ Here I am. Testify against me in the Lord’s presence and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken? Who have I cheated? Who have I oppressed? Who bribed me to look the other way?^[c] I’ll restore it to you.”
