Acts 13:17-22

17The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors, made the people prosper during their stay in the land of Egypt, and led them out of it with a mighty arm.

18And for about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness;

19and after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.

20This all took about 450 years. After this, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

21Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

22After removing him, he raised up David as their king and testified about him, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse to be a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my will.’
