17 The God of this people Israel achose our fathers, and exalted the people bwhen they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with2 an uplifted arm He cbrought them out of it.
18 Now afor a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness.
19 And when He had destroyed aseven nations in the land of Canaan, bHe distributed their land to them by allotment.
20 “After that aHe gave them judges for about four hundred and fifty years, buntil Samuel the prophet.
21 aAnd afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them bSaul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
