I have given you a king, just as you asked. 2 You have seen how I have led you ever since I was a young man. I’m already old. My hair is gray, and my own sons are grown. Now you must see how well your king will lead you.
3 Si 46.19.Let me ask this. Have I ever taken anyone’s ox or donkey or forced you to give me anything? Have I ever hurt anyone or taken a bribe to give an unfair decision? Answer me so the Lordand his chosen king can hear you. And if I have done any of these things, I will give it all back.
4 "No," the Israelites answered. "You’ve never cheated us in any way!"
5 Samuel said, "The Lordand his chosen king are witnesses to what you have said."
"That’s true," they replied.
6 Ex 6.26.Then Samueltold them:
The Lordbrought your ancestors out of Egyptand chose Mosesand Aaronto be your leaders. 7 Now the Lordwill be your judge. So stand here and listen, while I remind you how often the Lordhas saved you and your ancestors from your enemies.
8 Ex 2.23.After Jacobwent to Egypt, your ancestors cried out to the Lordfor help, and he sent Mosesand Aaron. They brought your ancestors out of Egyptand led them here to settle this land. 9 Jg 4.2;Jg 13.1;Jg 3.12.But your ancestors forgot the Lord, so he let them be defeated by the Philistines, the king of Moab, and Sisera, the commander of Hazor’s army.
10 Jg 10.10-15.3 Macc 2.12.Again your ancestors cried out to the Lordfor help. They said, "We have sinned! We stopped worshiping you, our Lord, and started worshiping Baal and Astarte. But now, if you rescue us from our enemies, we will worship you."
11 Jg 7.1;Jg 4.6;Jg 11.29;1 S 3.20.The Lordsent Gideon,12.11 Gideon: The Hebrew text has "Jerubbaal," another name for "Gideon."Bedan, Jephthah, and Samuelto rescue you from your enemies, and you didn’t have to worry about being attacked. 12 1 S 8.19.Then you saw that King Nahashof Ammonwas going to attack you. And even though the Lordyour God is your king, you told me, "This time it’s different. We want a king to rule us!"
13 You asked for a king, and you chose one. Now he stands here where all of you can see him. But it was really the Lordwho made him your king. 14 If you and your king want to be followers of the Lord, you must worship him12.14 If … him: Or "If you and your king want things to go well for you, then you must worship the Lord."and do what he says. Don’t be stubborn! 15 If you’re stubborn and refuse to obey the Lord, he will turn against you and your king.12.15 and your king: One ancient translation; Hebrew "and your ancestors" or "as he was against your ancestors."
16 Just stand here and watch the Lordshow his mighty power. 17 Isn’t this the dry season?12.17 the dry season: The Hebrew text has "time for wheat harvest," which was usually in the spring, the beginning of the dry season.I’m going to ask the Lordto send a thunderstorm. When you see it, you will realize how wrong you were to ask for a king.
18 Samuelprayed, and that same day the Lordsent a thunderstorm. Everyone was afraid of the Lordand of Samuel. 19 They told Samuel, "Please, pray to the Lordyour God for us! We don’t want to die. We have sinned many times in the past, and we were very wrong to ask for a king."
20 Samuelanswered:
Even though what you did was wrong, you don’t need to be afraid. But you must always follow the Lordand worship him with all your heart. 21 Don’t worship idols! They don’t have any power, and they can’t help you or save you when you’re in trouble. 22 But the Lordhas chosen you to be his own people. He will always take care of you so that everyone will know how great he is.
23 I would be disobeying the Lordif I stopped praying for you! I will always teach you how to live right. 24 You also must obey the Lord—you must worship him with all your heart and remember the great things he has done for you. 25 But if you and your king do evil, the Lordwill wipe you out.
