1 Samuel 12:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ The Lord sent Gideon, who is also called Jerub-Baal. And he sent Barak, Jephthah and Samuel. Then he saved you from your enemies around you. And you lived in safety. ¹² But then you saw Nahash king of the Ammonites coming against you. You said, ‘No! We want a king to rule over us!’ ¹³ Now here is the king you chose. The Lord has put him over you.
