Compare all
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.  
14 If you afear the Lord and serve Him and obey His voice, and do not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then both you and the king who reigns over you will continue following the Lord your God.  
15 However, if you do anot obey the voice of the Lord, but brebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you, as it was against your fathers.  
16 “Now therefore, astand and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes:  
17 Is today not the awheat harvest? bI will call to the Lord, and He will send thunder and crain, that you may perceive and see that dyour wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking a king for yourselves.”

1 Samuel 12:7-16

HE REPROVES THE PEOPLE FOR INGRATITUDE. (I Samuel 12:6-16)

Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you—The burden of this faithful and uncompromising address was to show them, that though they had obtained the change of government they had so importunely desired, their conduct was highly displeasing to their heavenly King; nevertheless, if they remained faithful to Him and to the principles of the theocracy, they might be delivered from many of the evils to which the new state of things would expose them. And in confirmation of those statements, no less than in evidence of the divine displeasure, a remarkable phenomenon, on the invocation of the prophet, and of which he gave due premonition, took place.
