17. Later Samuel called all the people of Israel to meet before the lord at Mizpah.
18. And he said, “This is what the lord, the God of Israel, has declared: I brought you from Egypt and rescued you from the Egyptians and from all of the nations that were oppressing you.
19. But though I have rescued you from your misery and distress, you have rejected your God today and have said, ‘No, we want a king instead!’ Now, therefore, present yourselves before the lord by tribes and clans.”
20. So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel before the lord, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot.
