1 Samuel 12:2-4

Living Bible

² I have selected him ahead of my own sons and now I stand here, an old, gray-haired man who has been in public service from the time he was a lad. ³ Now tell me as I stand before the Lord and before his anointed king—whose ox or donkey have I stolen? Have I ever defrauded you? Have I ever oppressed you? Have I ever taken a bribe? Tell me and I will make right whatever I have done wrong.”

⁴ “No,” they replied, “you have never defrauded or oppressed us in any way and you have never taken even one single bribe.”
