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.”
