1 Samuel 12:2-4
New King James Version
2 And now here is the king, (A)walking before you; (B)and I am old and grayheaded, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day. 3 Here I am. Witness against me before the Lord and before (C)His anointed: (D)Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any (E)bribe with which to (F)blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”
4 And they said, (G)“You have not cheated us or oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from any man’s hand.”

2 See, it is the king who leads you now; I am old and grey, but my sons are with you. I have led you from my youth until this day. 3 Here I am; testify against me before the Lord and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Or whose donkey have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? Testify against me[a] and I will restore it to you.’ 4 They said, ‘You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from the hand of anyone.’
