1 Samuel 10:17-19

Christian Standard Bible

Saul Received as King

¹⁷ Samuel summoned the people to the Lord at Mizpah^{(A) 18} and said to the Israelites, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says:^(B) ‘I brought Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the power of the Egyptians and all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.’ ¹⁹ But today you have rejected your God,^(C) who saves you from all your troubles and afflictions. You said to him, ‘You^[a] must set a king over us.’^(D) Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and clans.”^(E)
