1 Samuel 12:12-14
New English Translation
12 “When you saw that King Nahash of the Ammonites was advancing against you, you said to me, ‘No! A king will rule over us’—even though the Lord your God is your king. 13 Now look! Here is the king you have chosen—the one that you asked for! Look, the Lord has given you a king. 14 If you fear the Lord, serving him and obeying him[a] and not rebelling against what he says,[b] and if both you and the king who rules over you follow the Lord your God, all will be well.[c]
