1 Samuel 12:13
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Now here is the king you have chosen, the one you requested. Behold, the LORD has placed a king over you.
In context
11 So the LORD sent Jerubbaal, Barak, Jephthah, and Samuel, and He delivered you from the hands of your enemies on every side, and you dwelt securely.
12 But when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me, ‘No, we must have a king to rule over us’—even though the LORD your God was your king.
13 Now here is the king you have chosen, the one you requested. Behold, the LORD has placed a king over you.
14 If you fear the LORD and serve Him and obey His voice, and if you do not rebel against the command of the LORD, and if both you and the king who reigns over you follow the LORD your God, then all will be well.
15 But if you disobey the LORD and rebel against His command, then the hand of the LORD will be against you as it was against your fathers.
