1 Samuel 12:18-20

Lexham English Bible

¹⁸ So Samuel called out to Yahweh, and Yahweh brought thunder and rain that same day, so all the people feared Yahweh and Samuel greatly. ¹⁹ Then all the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to Yahweh your God so that we will not die, because we have added to all our sins by requesting a king for ourselves.” ²⁰ And Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear! You have done all this evil; only do not turn aside from following^[a] Yahweh. But you must serve Yahweh with all your heart.
