1Then SamuelH8050 saidH559 to allH3605 IsraelH3478, “BeholdH2009, 1I have listenedH8085 to your voiceH6963 in allH3605 that you saidH559 to me and I 2have 3appointedH4427 a kingH4428 overH5921 you. 2NowH6258, 4hereH2009 is the kingH4428 walkingH1980 beforeH6440 you, but 5I amH2204 oldH2204 and grayH7867, and beholdH2009 6my sonsH1121 are with you. And 7I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 you from my youthH5271 evenH5704 to thisH2088 dayH3117. 3HereH2009 I am; bearH6030 witnessH6030 against me beforeH5048 the LordH3068 and 8His anointedH4899. 9WhoseH4310 oxH7794 have I takenH3947, or whoseH4310 donkeyH2543 have I takenH3947, or whomH4310 have I defraudedH6231? WhomH4310 have I oppressedH7533, or 10from whoseH4310 handH3027 have I takenH3947 a bribeH3724 to blindH5956 my eyesH5869 with it? I will restoreH7725 it to you.” 4They saidH559, “You have not defraudedH6231 us or oppressedH7533 us or takenH3947 anythingH3972 from anyH376 man’sH376 handH3027.” 5He saidH559 to them, “The LordH3068 is witnessH5707 against you, and His anointedH4899 is witnessH5707 thisH2088 dayH3117 that 11you have foundH4672 nothingH3808H3972 12in my handH3027.” And they saidH559, “He is witnessH5707.”
