09:011:014 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and
let us go to Gilgal,
and
renew the kingdom there.
09:011:015 And all the people went to Gilgal; and
there they made Saul
king
before the lord in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed
sacrifices
of peace offerings before the lord; and there
Saul
and
all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
09:012:001 And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold,
I have hearkened unto
your
voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a
king
over
you.
09:012:002 And now, behold, the king walketh before
you: and I am old and
grayheaded;
and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have
walked
before you from my childhood unto this day.
09:012:003 Behold, here I am: witness against
me before the lord, and
before
his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose
ass have
I
taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed?
or
of
whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine
eyes
therewith?
and I will restore it you.
09:012:004 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded
us, nor oppressed us,
neither
hast thou taken ought of any man’s hand.
09:012:005 And he said unto them, The lord is
witness against you, and
his
anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found
ought
in
my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
09:012:006 And Samuel said unto the people, It is
the lord that advanced
Moses
and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of
the
land
of Egypt.
09:012:007 Now therefore stand still, that I may reason
with you before
the
lord of all the righteous acts of the lord,
which he did
to
you and to your fathers.
09:012:008 When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your
fathers cried unto
the
lord, then the lord sent Moses and Aaron,
which brought
forth
your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this
place.
09:012:009 And when they forgat the lord their
God, he sold them into the
hand
of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the
hand
of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of
Moab,
and they fought against them.
09:012:010 And they cried unto the lord, and
said, We have sinned,
because
we have forsaken the lord, and have served Baalim
and
Ashtaroth:
but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies,
and
we will serve thee.
09:012:011 And the lord sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan,
and Jephthah, and
Samuel,
and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on
every
side, and ye dwelled safe.
