I will callH7121 unto Jehovah, that he may send thunderH6963 and rainH4306; and ye shall knowH3045 and seeH7200 that your wickednessH7451 is greatH7227, which ye have done in the sight of Jehovah, in askingH7592 you a kingH4428. 18So SamuelH8050 calledH7121 unto Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunderH6963 and rainH4306 that dayH3117: and all the peopleH5971 greatly fearedH3372 Jehovah and SamuelH8050.

19And all the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, PrayH6419 for thy servantsH5650 unto Jehovah thy GodH430, that we dieH4191 not; for we have addedH3254 unto all our sinsH2403 this evilH7451, to askH7592 us a kingH4428. 20And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3372 not: ye have indeed done all this evilH7451; yet turnH5493 not asideH5493 from following Jehovah, but serveH5647 Jehovah with all your heartH3824:
