1 Samuel 12:1-5

1And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to all IsraelH3478, Behold, I have hearkened to your voiceH6963 in all that ye saidH559 to me, and have made a kingH4428 over you.

2And nowH6258 behold, the kingH4428 walksH1980 before you; and I am old and grey-headed; and behold, my sonsH1121 are with you; and I have walkedH1980 before you from my youthH5271 up to this dayH3117.

3HereH2005 I am: testifyH6030 against me before Jehovah, and before his anointedH4899. Whose oxH7794 have I takenH3947? or whose ass have I takenH3947? or whom have I defraudedH6231? whom have I injured? or of whose handH3027 have I receivedH3947 any ransomH3724 and blinded mine eyesH5869 therewith? and I will restoreH7725 it to you.

4And they saidH559, Thou hast not defraudedH6231 us, and thou hast not injured us, neither hast thou takenH3947 aught of any man's handH3027.

5And he saidH559 to them, Jehovah is witnessH5707 against you, and his anointedH4899 is witnessH5707 this dayH3117, that ye have not foundH4672 aught in my handH3027! And [the people] saidH559, [He is] witnessH5707!
