1 Samuel 12:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ “So now, here is the king you chose, the one you asked for. Yes, the Lord has put a king over you! ¹⁴ If you will fear the Lord, worship him, obey him, and not rebel against the Lord’s command, and if both you and the king who rules over you follow the Lord your God—all will be well. ¹⁵ But if you don’t obey the Lord and rebel against the Lord’s command, then the Lord’s power will go against you and your king to destroy you.^[a]
