1 Then Samuel said to all Israel, |I have listened to everything you have said to me and appointed a king over you. 2 And now, here is the king who will lead you. I am old and gray, but my sons are with you. I have led you from my youth until this day. 3 Here I am. Testify against me in front of the LORD and in front of his anointed king. Did I take anyone's ox? Did I take anyone's donkey? Did I cheat or oppress anyone? Did I take a bribe from anyone to look the other way? [If so,] I will give it all back.| 4 They answered, |You didn't cheat us, oppress us, or take anything from anyone.| 1 Samuel 12:1-4, God's Word Translation.
