1 Samuel 12:12-15

1 Samuel 12:12-15 MEV

“When you saw that Nahash, king of the Ammonites, came against you, you said to me, ‘No, but a king will reign over us,’ when the LORD your God was your king. And now behold the king whom you have chosen and for whom you have asked! Behold, the LORD has set a king over you. If you will fear the LORD, and serve Him, and obey His voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then both you and the king that reigns over you will continue following the LORD your God. But if you will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then will the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.
