1 AND Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you. 2 And now, behold, the king is before you; and I am old and gray-headed; and, behold, my sons are with you; and I have walked before you from my childhood to this day. 3 Behold, I am standing before you; testify against me before the LORD and before his anointed; whose ox have I taken? Or whose ass have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded? Or whom have I oppressed? Or of whose hand have I taken a bribe to look upon him with favor? Tell me, and I will restore it to you. 4 And they said to him, You have not defrauded us nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything from any one of us. 1 Samuel 12:1-4, Lamsa Bible.
