1 Samuel 12:1-5

1Now Samuel said to all Israel: “Indeed I have heeded your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.

2And now here is the king, walking before you; and I am old and grayheaded, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day.

3Here I am. Witness against me before the Lord and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”

4And they said, “You have not cheated us or oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from any man’s hand.”

5Then he said to them, “The Lord is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand.” And they answered, “He is witness.”
