Acts 13:17-22

17The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it.

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.

20All this took about 450 years. And after that 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.

22And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, 'I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'
