1 Samuel 12:12-14

The Voice

¹² But when you saw that King Nahash of the Ammonites was arrayed for battle against you, you ran to me, saying, “Give us a king to rule over us,” even though the Eternal One, your True God, has always been your king. ¹³ So now, look: here is the king you chose, the king for whom you asked. The Eternal has indeed set a king to rule over you.

¹⁴ If you will revere and serve the Eternal, if you listen to His voice and do not disobey His commands, then you and this king who rules over you will follow the Eternal One, your True God, and all will go well with you.
