1 Samuel 12:10-12
New King James Version
10 Then they cried out to the Lord, and said, (A)‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord (B)and served the Baals and [a]Ashtoreths; but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve You.’ 11 And the Lord sent [b]Jerubbaal, [c]Bedan, (C)Jephthah, and (D)Samuel,[d] and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you dwelt in safety. 12 And when you saw that (E)Nahash king of the Ammonites came against you, (F)you said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when (G)the Lord your God was your king.
