Acts 13:17-22

17“The God of this nation of Israel chose our ancestors and made them multiply and grow strong during their stay in Egypt. Then with a powerful arm he led them out of their slavery.

18He put up with them through forty years of wandering in the wilderness.

19Then he destroyed seven nations in Canaan and gave their land to Israel as an inheritance.

20All this took about 450 years. “After that, God gave them judges to rule until the time of Samuel the prophet.

21Then the people begged for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, who reigned for forty years.

22But God removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.’
