1 Samuel 12:15-17
New English Translation

15 But if you don’t obey[a] the Lord and rebel against what the Lord says, the hand of the Lord will be against both you and your king.[b]

16 “So now, take your positions and watch this great thing that the Lord is about to do in your sight. 17 Is this not the time of the wheat harvest? I will call on the Lord so that he makes it thunder and rain. Realize and see what a great sin you have committed before the Lord by asking for a king for yourselves.”

Footnotes

  1. 1 Samuel 12:15 tn Heb “listen to the voice of.”
  2. 1 Samuel 12:15 tc The LXX reads “your king” rather than the MT’s “your fathers.” The latter makes little sense here. Some follow MT, but translate “as it was against your fathers.” See P. K. McCarter, 1 Samuel (AB), 212.
