12:1 And Samuel 8050 said 5598799 unto all Israel 3478, Behold, I have hearkened 80858804 unto your voice 6963 in all that ye said 5598804 unto me, and have made 44278686 a king 4428 over you.
12:2 And now, behold, the king 4428 walketh 19808693 before 6440 you: and I am old 22048804 and grayheaded 78678804; and, behold, my sons 1121 [are] with you: and I have walked 19808694 before 6440 you from my childhood 5271 unto this day 3117.
12:3 Behold, here I [am]: witness 60308798 against me before the LORD 3068, and before his anointed 4899: whose ox 7794 have I taken 39478804? or whose ass 2543 have I taken 39478804? or whom have I defrauded 62318804? whom have I oppressed 75338804? or of whose hand 3027 have I received [any] bribe 3724 to blind 59568686 mine eyes 5869 therewith? and I will restore 77258686 it you.(bribe: Heb. ransom)(to blind…: or, that I should hide mine eyes at him)
12:5 And he said 5598799 unto them, The LORD 3068 [is] witness 5707 against you, and his anointed 4899 [is] witness 5707 this day 3117, that ye have not found 46728804 ought 3972 in my hand 3027. And they answered 5598799, [He is] witness 5707.
12:6 And Samuel 8050 said 5598799 unto the people 5971, [It is] the LORD 3068 that advanced 62138804 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, and that brought 59270 your fathers 1 up 59278689 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.(advanced: or, made)
12:7 Now therefore stand still 33208690, that I may reason 81998735 with you before 6440 the LORD 3068 of all the righteous acts 6666 of the LORD 3068, which he did 62138804 to you and to your fathers 1.(righteous…: Heb. righteousnesses, or, benefits)(to: Heb. with)
12:9 And when they forgat 79118799 the LORD 3068 their God 430, he sold 43768799 them into the hand 3027 of Sisera 5516, captain 8269 of the host 6635 of Hazor 2674, and into the hand 3027 of the Philistines 6430, and into the hand 3027 of the king 4428 of Moab 4124, and they fought 38988735 against them.
12:12 And when ye saw 72008799 that Nahash 5176 the king 4428 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 came 9358804 against you, ye said 5598799 unto me, Nay; but a king 4428 shall reign 44278799 over us: when the LORD 3068 your God 430 [was] your king 4428.
12:13 Now therefore behold the king 4428 whom ye have chosen 9778804, [and] whom ye have desired 75928804! and, behold, the LORD 3068 hath set 54148804 a king 4428 over you.
12:14 If ye will fear 33728799 the LORD 3068, and serve 56478804 him, and obey 80858804 his voice 6963, and not rebel 47848686 against the commandment 6310 of the LORD 3068, then shall both ye and also the king 4428 that reigneth 44278804 over you continue following 310 the LORD 3068 your God 430:(commandment: Heb. mouth)(continue…: Heb. be after)
12:15 But if ye will not obey 80858799 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068, but rebel 47848804 against the commandment 6310 of the LORD 3068, then shall the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 be against you, as [it was] against your fathers 1.
12:21 And turn ye not aside 54938799: for [then should ye go] after 310 vain 8414 [things], which cannot profit 32768686 nor deliver 53378686; for they [are] vain 8414.
12:23 Moreover as for me 595, God forbid 2486 that I should sin 23988800 against the LORD 3068 in ceasing 23088800 to pray 64198692 for you: but I will teach 33848689 you the good 2896 and the right 3477 way 1870:(in: Heb. from)
12:24 Only fear 33728798 the LORD 3068, and serve 56478804 him in truth 571 with all your heart 3824: for consider 72008798 how great [things] he hath done 14318689 for you.(how…: or, what a great thing)
12:25 But if ye shall still 74898687 do wickedly 74898686, ye shall be consumed 55958735, both ye and your king 4428.
