1 Samuel 12:6

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.”

6 Then Samuel said to the people, ^a“It is the Lord who raised up Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up from the land of Egypt.

7 Now therefore, stand still, that I may ^areason with you before the Lord concerning all the ^brighteous acts of the Lord which He did to you and your fathers:

8 ^aWhen Jacob had gone into Egypt, and your fathers ^bcried out to the Lord, then the Lord ^csent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place.

9 And when they ^aforgot the Lord their God, He sold them into the hand of ^bSisera, commander of the army of Hazor, into the hand of the ^cPhilistines, and into the hand of the king of ^dMoab; and they fought against them.

10 Then they cried out to the Lord, and said, ^a‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord ^band served the Baals and Ashtoreths; but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve You.’
