1 Samuel 12:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ Here I am. If I have done anything wrong, you must tell these things to the Lord and his chosen king.^[a] Did I steal anyone’s ox or donkey? Did I hurt or cheat anyone? Did I ever take money, or even a pair of sandals, to do something wrong? If I did any of these things, I will make it right.”

⁴ The Israelites answered, “No, you never did anything bad to us. You never cheated us or took things from us.”

⁵ Samuel said to the Israelites, “The Lord and his chosen king are witnesses today. They heard what you said—that you found nothing wrong with me.” The people answered, “Yes, the Lord is witness!”
