1 Samuel 12:6-16

6And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, It is YhwhH3068 that advancedH6213 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and that broughtH5927 your fathersH1 upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.1 7Now therefore stand stillH3320, that I may reasonH8199 with you beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 of all the righteous actsH6666 of YhwhH3068, which he didH6213 to you and to your fathersH1.23 8When JacobH3290 was comeH935 into EgyptH4714, and your fathersH1 criedH2199 unto YhwhH3068, Then YhwhH3068 sentH7971 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, which brought forthH3318 your fathersH1 out of EgyptH4714, and made them dwellH3427 in this placeH4725. 9And when they forgatH7911 YhwhH3068 their GodH430, he soldH4376 them into the handH3027 of SiseraH5516, captainH8269 of the armyH6635 of HazorH2674, and into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430, and into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and they foughtH3898 against them. 10And they criedH2199 unto YhwhH3068, and saidH559, We have sinnedH2398, because we have forsakenH5800 YhwhH3068, and have servedH5647 BaalimH1168 and AshtarothH6252: but now deliverH5337 us out of the handH3027 of our enemiesH341, and we will serveH5647 thee. 11And YhwhH3068 sentH7971 JerubbaalH3378, and BedanH917, and JephthahH3316, and SamuelH8050, and deliveredH5337 you out of the handH3027 of your enemiesH341 on every sideH5439, and ye dwelledH3427 safeH983. 12And when ye sawH7200 that NahashH5176 the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 cameH935 against you, ye saidH559 unto me, Nay; but a kingH4428 shall reignH4427 over us: when YhwhH3068 your GodH430 was your kingH4428. 13Now therefore behold the kingH4428 whom ye have chosenH977, and whom ye have desiredH7592! And, behold, YhwhH3068 hath setH5414 a kingH4428 over you. 14If ye will fearH3372 YhwhH3068, and serveH5647 him, and obeyH8085 his voiceH6963, and not rebelH4784 against the commandmentH6310 of YhwhH3068, then shall both ye and also the kingH4428 that reignethH4427 over you continue followingH310 YhwhH3068 your GodH430:45 15But if ye will not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of YhwhH3068, but rebelH4784 against the commandmentH6310 of YhwhH3068, then shall the handH3027 of YhwhH3068 be against you, as it was against your fathersH1.

16Now thereforeH1571 standH3320 and seeH7200 this greatH1419 thingH1697, which YhwhH3068 will doH6213 before your eyesH5869.
