11 And the Lord sent [a]Jerubbaal, [b]Bedan, (A)Jephthah, and (B)Samuel,[c] and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you dwelt in safety. 12 And when you saw that (C)Nahash king of the Ammonites came against you, (D)you said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when (E)the Lord your God was your king.
