1 Samuel 12:19 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 12:19

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.

19 And all the people said to Samuel, ^a“Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins the evil of asking a king for ourselves.”

20 Then Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; ^ayet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.

21 And ^ado not turn aside; ^bfor then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing.

22 For ^athe Lord will not forsake ^bHis people, ^cfor His great name’s sake, because ^dit has pleased the Lord to make you His people.

23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord ^ain ceasing to pray for you; but ^bI will teach you the ^cgood and the right way.

24 ^aOnly fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for ^bconsider what ^cgreat things He has done for you.

25 But if you still do wickedly, ^ayou shall be swept away, ^bboth you and your king.”
