1. Then Samuel said to all Israel, “Behold, I have listened to your voice in all you said to me, and have set a king over you.
2. Now here is the king who will go before you, while I am old and gray. Also here are my sons with you. I have gone before you from my youth to this day.
3. Here I am. Witness against me before Adonai and before His anointed. Whose ox have I taken or whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I defrauded or whom have I oppressed? From whose hand have I taken a bribe to look the other way? I will restore it to you.”
