Samuel's Charge To Israel

1 Then said Samuel unto all Israel, "Behold, I have obeyed your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made you a king. 2 And see, your king walketh before you. But I am old and grayheaded: and behold my sons are with you and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day. 3 Behold, here I am. Answer me before the LORD and before his anointed, whose ox have I taken? Or whose ass have I taken? Whom have I done wrong to? Or whom have I oppressed? And of whose hand have I received any bribe, to blind mine eyes therewith? And I will restore it you again."
