1 Samuel 12:13-25 - The New Kingship
13 And now, behold the king which ye chose, which ye asked! and behold, Jehovah gave a king over you. 14 If ye will fear Jehovah and serve him, and hear to his voice, and ye shall not rebel against the mouth of Jehovah, and ye shall be, also ye, and the king which reigned over you, after Jehovah your God. 15 And if ye will not hear to the voice of Jehovah, and rebel against the mouth of Jehovah, and the hand of the Lord was against you and your fathers.
16 Also now stand ye and see this great word which Jehovah does before your eyes. 17 Is it not the harvest of wheat this day? I will call to Jehovah and he will give voices and rain; and know ye and see that your wickedness is great which ye did in the eyes of Jehovah to ask for you a king. 18 And Samuel will call to Jehovah, and Jehovah will give voices and rain in that day: and all the people will be greatly afraid of Jehovah and Samuel.
19 And all the people will say to Samuel, Pray for thy servants to Jehovah thy God, and we shall not die; for we added upon all our sins the wickedness to ask for us a king.
20 And Samuel will say to the people, Ye shall not be afraid: ye did all this wickedness: but ye shall not turn aside from after Jehovah, and serve ye Jehovah with all your heart. 21 And ye shall not turn aside: for after vanities which will not profit, and they will not deliver, for they are vanities. 22 For Jehovah will not cast off his people on account of his great name, for Jehovah willed to make you to him for a people.
23 Also I, far be it to me sinning against Jehovah ceasing to pray for you: and I taught you in the good and straight way. 24 But fear ye Jehovah, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for see what he magnified with you. 25 And if doing evil, ye shall do evil, also ye, also your king; ye shall perish.
