1 Samuel 12:12-14
New King James Version
12 And when you saw that (A)Nahash king of the Ammonites came against you, (B)you said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when (C)the Lord your God was your king.
13 “Now therefore, (D)here is the king (E)whom you have chosen and whom you have desired. And take note, (F)the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you (G)fear the Lord and serve Him and obey His voice, and do not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then both you and the king who reigns over you will continue following the Lord your God.
