1 Samuel 12:9

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.’

11 And the Lord sent Jerubbaal, Bedan, ^aJephthah, and ^bSamuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you dwelt in safety.

12 And when you saw that ^aNahash king of the Ammonites came against you, ^byou said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when ^cthe Lord your God was your king.

13 “Now therefore, ^ahere is the king ^bwhom you have chosen and whom you have desired. And take note, ^cthe Lord has set a king over you.
