1 Samuel 12:1-4 ▼

1 Samuel addressed all Israel: “I have granted your request in every respect,” he said. “I have set a king over you

2 and now the king will lead you. As for me, I am old and gray, and my sons are among you. I was your leader from my youth to the present day.

3 Here I stand! Answer me in the presence of the LORD and the LORD’s anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I cheated? Whom have I wronged? From whom have I accepted a bribe and shut my eyes because of it? I will make restitution to you.”

4 They replied, “You have neither cheated us, nor oppressed us, nor accepted anything from anyone.”
