12 But you saw (A)that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon came against you, and you said to me, ‘(B)No, but a king shall reign over us,’ (C)although Yahweh your God was your king. 13 So now, (D)behold, the king whom you have chosen, (E)whom you have asked for, and behold, Yahweh has set a king over you. 14 (F)If you will fear Yahweh and serve Him and listen to His voice and not rebel against the [a]command of Yahweh, then both you and also the king who reigns over you will follow Yahweh your God.

1 Samuel 12:12-14
New International Version
12 “But when you saw that Nahash(A) king(B) of the Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me, ‘No, we want a king to rule(C) over us’—even though the Lord your God was your king. 13 Now here is the king(D) you have chosen, the one you asked(E) for; see, the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you fear(F) the Lord and serve and obey him and do not rebel(G) against his commands, and if both you and the king who reigns over you follow the Lord your God—good!
