Bible. Samuel, 1st
11:10. And they said: In the morning we will come out to you: and you
shall do what you please with us.
11:11. And it came to pass, when the morrow was come, that Saul put the
people in three companies: and he came into the midst of the camp in the
morning watch, and he slew the Ammonites until the day grew hot, and the
rest were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
11:12. And the people said to Samuel: Who is he that said: Shall Saul
reign over us? Bring the men, and we will kill them.
11:13. And Saul said: No man shall be killed this day: because the Lord
this day hath wrought salvation in Israel:
11:14. And Samuel said to the people: Come, and let us go to Galgal, and
let us renew the kingdom there.
11:15. And all the people went to Galgal, and there they made Saul king,
before the Lord in Galgal, and they sacrificed there victims of peace
before the Lord. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced
exceedingly.
1 Kings Chapter 12
Samuel's integrity is acknowledged. God sheweth by a sign from heaven
that they had done ill in asking for a king.
12:1. 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.
12:2. And now the king goeth before you: but I am old and greyheaded:
and my sons are with you: having then conversed with you from my youth
until this day, behold here I am.
12:3. Speak of me before the Lord, and before his anointed, whether I
have taken any man's ox, or ass: if I have wronged any man, if I have
oppressed any man, if I have taken a bribe at any man's hand: and I will
despise it this day, and will restore it to you.
12:4. And they said: Thou hast not wronged us, nor oppressed us, nor
taken ought at any man's hand.
12:5. And he said to them: The Lord is witness against you, and his
anointed is witness this day, that you have not found any thing in my
hand. And they said: He is witness.
12:6. And Samuel said to the people: It is the Lord who made Moses and
Aaron, and brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt.
12:7. Now, therefore, stand up, that I may plead in judgment against you
before the Lord, concerning all the kindness of the Lord, which he hath
shewn to you, and to your fathers:
12:8. How Jacob went into Egypt, and your fathers cried to the Lord: and
the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, and brought your fathers out of Egypt,
and made them dwell in this place.
12:9. And they forgot the Lord their God, and he delivered them into the
hands of Sisara, captain of the army of Hasor, and into the hands of the
Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought
against them.
12:10 But afterwards they cried to the Lord, and said: We have sinned,
because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and Astaroth:
but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
