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.| 5 Samuel told them, |The LORD is a witness to what you've said, and his anointed king is a witness today that you've found nothing in my hands.| |He is a witness,| they answered. 1 Samuel 12:2-5, God's Word Translation.
