00:01.660 --> 00:07.240
And Samuel said unto all Israel,
Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice,

00:07.500 --> 00:11.000
and all that ye said unto me, and have
made a king over you.

00:11.460 --> 00:14.460
And now, behold, the king walketh before
you.

00:14.920 --> 00:16.540
And I am old and grey-headed.

00:16.920 --> 00:21.220
And behold, my sons are with you,
and I have walked before you from my

00:21.220 --> 00:22.920
childhood unto this day.

00:23.400 --> 00:28.580
Behold, here I am, witness against me
before the Lord, and before his anointed.

00:28.940 --> 00:33.540
Whose ox have I taken, or whose ass have I
taken, or whom have I defrauded,

00:33.840 --> 00:38.960
whom have I oppressed, or of whose hand
have I received any bribe, to blind mine

00:38.960 --> 00:39.740
eyes therewith?

00:40.360 --> 00:41.860
And I will restore you.

00:42.180 --> 00:48.400
And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us,
nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken

00:48.400 --> 00:49.840
out of any man's hand.

00:50.060 --> 00:54.920
And he said unto them, The Lord is witness
against you, and his anointed is witness

00:54.920 --> 00:58.500
this day, that ye have not found ought in
my hand.

00:58.720 --> 01:00.540
And they answered, He is witness.

01:00.860 --> 01:05.140
And Samuel said unto the people,
It is the Lord that advanced Moses and

01:05.140 --> 01:08.340
Aaron, and that brought your fathers up
out of the land of Egypt.

01:08.800 --> 01:13.400
Now therefore stand still, that I may
reason with you before the Lord of all the

01:13.400 --> 01:16.580
righteous acts of the Lord, which he did
to you and to your fathers.

01:17.220 --> 01:20.960
When Jacob was come into Egypt,
and your fathers cried unto the Lord,

01:21.260 --> 01:25.240
then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron,
which brought forth your fathers out of

01:25.240 --> 01:27.460
Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.

01:27.860 --> 01:32.320
And when they forgot the Lord their God,
he sold them into the hand of Sisera,

01:32.760 --> 01:37.880
captain of the host of Hazor, and into the
hand of the Philistines, and into the hand

01:37.880 --> 01:38.820
of the king of Moab.

01:39.240 --> 01:40.760
And they fought against them.

01:41.280 --> 01:45.980
And they cried unto the Lord, and said,
We have sinned, because we have forsaken

01:45.980 --> 01:49.460
the Lord, and have served Baalim and
Ashtoreth.

01:49.480 --> 01:54.000
But now deliver us out of the hand of our
enemies, and we will serve thee.

01:54.600 --> 02:00.400
And the Lord sent Jerob Baal, and Bedan,
and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered

02:00.400 --> 02:02.700
you out of the hand of your enemies on
every side.

02:02.960 --> 02:04.260
And ye dwelled safe.

02:04.780 --> 02:09.120
And when ye saw that Nahash, the king of
the children of Ammon, came against you,

02:09.700 --> 02:14.580
ye said unto me, Nay, but a king shall
reign over us, when the Lord your God was

02:14.580 --> 02:15.020
your king.

02:15.780 --> 02:20.160
Now therefore behold the king whom ye have
chosen, and whom ye have desired.

02:20.160 --> 02:23.420
And behold, the Lord hath set a king over
you.

02:23.780 --> 02:28.540
If ye will fear the Lord, and serve him,
and obey his voice, and not rebel against

02:28.540 --> 02:32.700
the commandment of the Lord, then shall
both ye, and also the king that reigneth

02:32.700 --> 02:34.940
over you, continue following the Lord your
God.

02:35.240 --> 02:39.820
But if ye will not obey the voice of the
Lord, but rebel against the commandment of

02:39.820 --> 02:44.800
the Lord, then shall the hand of the Lord
be against you, as it was against your

02:44.800 --> 02:45.140
fathers.

02:46.440 --> 02:52.000
Now therefore stand, and see this great
thing, which the Lord will do before your

02:52.000 --> 02:52.440
eyes.

02:52.680 --> 02:54.300
Is it not wheat harvest to-day?

02:54.720 --> 02:58.980
I will call unto the Lord, and he shall
send thunder and rain, that ye may

02:58.980 --> 03:03.260
perceive and see that your wickedness is
great, which ye have done in the sight of

03:03.260 --> 03:04.700
the Lord, in asking you a king.

03:04.940 --> 03:09.060
So Samuel called unto the Lord,
and the Lord sent thunder and rain that

03:09.060 --> 03:09.320
day.

03:09.640 --> 03:12.220
And all the people greatly feared the Lord
and Samuel.

03:12.820 --> 03:16.680
And all the people said unto Samuel,
Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy

03:16.680 --> 03:23.880
God, that we die not, for we have added
unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a

03:23.880 --> 03:24.200
king.

03:24.720 --> 03:28.340
And Samuel said unto the people,
Fear not, ye have done all this

03:28.340 --> 03:31.360
wickedness, yet turn not aside from
following the Lord.

03:31.680 --> 03:36.420
But serve the Lord with all your heart,
and turn ye not aside, for then should ye

03:36.420 --> 03:40.740
go after vain things, which cannot profit
nor deliver, for they are vain.

03:41.160 --> 03:45.480
For the Lord will not forsake his people
for his great name's sake, because it hath

03:45.480 --> 03:47.260
pleased the Lord to make you his people.

03:47.860 --> 03:51.840
Moreover, as for me, God forbid that I
should sin against the Lord in ceasing to

03:51.840 --> 03:52.480
pray for you.

03:52.700 --> 03:54.880
But I will teach you the good and the
right way.

03:55.180 --> 03:58.300
Only fear the Lord and serve him in truth
with all your heart.

03:58.660 --> 04:01.340
For consider how great things he hath done
for you.

04:02.460 --> 04:08.620
But if ye shall still do wickedly,
ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
