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.”
18 So Samuel called to the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day; and aall the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
