1 Samuel 12:13-15

GOD’S WORD Translation

The New Kingship

¹³ “Now, here is the king you have chosen, the one you asked for. See, the Lord has put a king over you. ¹⁴ If you fear the Lord, serve him, obey him, and don’t rebel against what he says, then you and your king will follow the Lord your God. ¹⁵ But if you don’t obey the Lord, if you rebel against what he says, then the Lord will be against you as he was against your ancestors.
