1 Samuel 12:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² But seeing that Naas king of the children of Ammon was come against you, you said to me: Nay, but a king shall reign over us: whereas the Lord your God was your king.

¹³ Now therefore your king is here, whom you have chosen and desired: Behold the Lord hath given you a king.

¹⁴ If you will fear the Lord, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not provoke the mouth of the Lord: then shall both you, and the king who reigneth over you, be followers of the Lord your God.
