1 Samuel 12:3-5
New English Translation
3 Here I am. Bring a charge against me before the Lord and before his chosen king.[a] Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I wronged? Whom have I oppressed? From whose hand have I taken a bribe so that I would overlook something? Tell me,[b] and I will return it to you!”
4 They replied, “You have not wronged us or oppressed us. You have not taken anything from the hand of anyone.” 5 He said to them, “The Lord is witness against you, and his chosen king[c] is witness this day, that you have not found any reason to accuse me.”[d] They said, “He is witness!”
