1 Samuel 12:2

Samuel's Charge To Israel

¹ Then Samuel said to all Israel, “Behold, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me and I have appointed a king over you. ² Now, here is the king walking before you, but I am old and gray, and behold my sons are with you. And I have walked before you from my youth even to this day. ³ Here I am; bear witness against me before the Lord and His anointed. Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? I will restore it to you.”
