Samuel’s Address at Saul’s Coronation
1 Now Samuel said to all Israel: “Indeed I have1 heeded ayour voice in all that you said to me, and bhave made a king over you.
2 And now here is the king, awalking before you; band 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 aHis anointed: bWhose 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 cbribe with which to dblind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”
4 And they said, a“You have not cheated us or oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from any man’s hand.”
5 Then he said to them, “The Lord is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, athat you have not found anything bin my hand.” And they answered, “He is witness.”
