Christian Standard Bible
3 Here I am. Bring charges against me before the Lord and his anointed: Whose ox or donkey have I taken?(A) Who have I wronged or mistreated? Who gave me a bribe to overlook something?[a](B) I will return it to you.”
4 “You haven’t wronged us, you haven’t mistreated us, and you haven’t taken anything from anyone,” they responded.
5 He said to them, “The Lord is a witness against you, and his anointed is a witness today that you haven’t found anything(C) in my hand.”(D)
“He is a witness,” they said.

1 Samuel 12:3-5
King James Version
3 Behold, here I am: witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.
5 And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
