Context of 1 Samuel 10:19
17And Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpeh; 18And said to the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you: And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said to him, Nay, but set a king over us.

Commentaries on 1 Samuel 10:19
