09:012:012 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon
           came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign
           over us:  when the lord your God was your king.

09:012:013 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye
           have desired! and, behold, the lord hath set a king over you.

09:012:014 If ye will fear the lord, and serve him, and obey his voice,
           and not rebel against the commandment of the lord, then shall
           both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue
           following the lord your God: 

09:012:015 But if ye will not obey the voice of the lord, but rebel
           against the commandment of the lord, then shall the hand of
           the lord be against you, as it was against your fathers.

09:012:016 Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the lord
           will do before your eyes.

09:012:017 Is it not wheat harvest to day?  I will call unto the lord, and
           he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see
           that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight
           of the lord, in asking you a king.

09:012:018 So Samuel called unto the lord; and the lord sent thunder and
           rain that day:  and all the people greatly feared the lord and
           Samuel.

09:012:019 And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants
           unto the lord thy God, that we die not:  for we have added unto
           all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.

09:012:020 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not:  ye have done all
           this wickedness:  yet turn not aside from following the lord,
           but serve the lord with all your heart;

09:012:021 And turn ye not aside:  for then should ye go after vain
           things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

09:012:022 For the lord will not forsake his people for his great name’s
           sake:  because it hath pleased the lord to make you his people.

09:012:023 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the
           lord in ceasing to pray for you:  but I will teach you the good
           and the right way: 

09:012:024 Only fear the lord, and serve him in truth with all your
           heart:  for consider how great things he hath done for you.

09:012:025 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both
           ye and your king.

09:013:001 Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over
           Israel,
