1 Samuel 12:1-5
1Then Samuel said to all Israel, “Behold, 1I have listened to your voice for all that you said to me, and I 2have appointed a king over you. 2Now, 3here is the king walking before you, but as for me, 4I am old and gray, and 5my sons are here with you. And 6I have walked before you since my youth to this day. 3Here I am; testify against me before the Lord and 7His anointed. 8Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I exploited? Whom have I oppressed, or 9from whose hand have I taken a bribe to close my eyes with it? I will return it to you.” 4And they said, “You have not exploited us or oppressed us, or taken anything from anyone’s hand.” 5So he said to them, “The Lord is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day that 10you have found nothing 11in my hand.” And they said, “He is witness.”
