RF SA1 12:1 Samuel confirms it for War, but retains the presidency and Civil Government.
Samuel afterwards said to all Israel, "You see I have listened to your voice in all you have asked me, and have appointed a Leader over you,
RF SA1 12:2 so now your Leader can march before you. But I will govern in Civil affairs. As for my sons—look! they are among you. And for myself have walked before you from my youth until this day.
RF SA1 12:3 Here I am! Answer me before the EVER-LIVING and before His Anointed! Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken to be as a cover and blind to my eyes from any man?—If I have I will return it to you."
RF SA1 12:4 And they replied, "You have neither defrauded us, nor oppressed us, and you have never extorted anything whatever from the hand of anyone."
RF SA1 12:5 Then he said to them, "The EVER-LIVING is a witness, and His Anointed is a witness with you this day that I have not taken anything whatever for my own hand?" And they answered, "He is witness."
RF SA1 12:6 Samuel addresses the Army reprovingly for their Act.
So Samuel responded to the People "It was the EVER-LIVING Who appointed Moses and Aaron, and Who brought your fathers from the land of Mitzeraim.
RF SA1 12:7 "Therefore now station yourselves, and I will relate to you before the EVER-LIVING all the beneficences of the EVER-LIVING which He has done for you, and for your fathers,
RF SA1 12:8 from the time when Jacob came to the Mitzeraim, until when your ancestors cried to the EVER-LIVING, and sent Moses and Aaron, EVER-LIVING and brought your fathers from the Mitzeraim and fixed them in this place.
RF SA1 12:9 Yet they forgot their EVER-LIVING GOD, so He sold them to the hand of Sisera, the General of the army of Khatzor, and to the hands of the Philishtim and to the hand of the king of Moab, who fought with them.
RF SA1 12:10 "Then they cried to the EVER-LIVING and said, 'We have sinned, for we have forsaken the EVER-LIVING and served the Balim and Ashteroth, but now deliver us from the power of our enemies, and we will serve You!'
RF SA1 12:11 So the EVER-LIVING sent Jerubal and the Danite, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you from the power of your enemies all around, and restored you to security.
RF SA1 12:12 You have yourselves seen how Nakhash, king of the Amonites, came upon you when you said to me, 'We have no leader over us,' though the EVER-LIVING GOD was your Leader.
RF SA1 12:13 So, now, see the Leader you have chosen, for whom you asked. The EVER-LIVING has now placed a Leader over you!
RF SA1 12:14 If you reverence the EVER-LIVING, and serve Him, and listen to His voice, and do not rebel against the utterance of the EVER-LIVING, then you and your Leader who directs you will be in union with your EVER-LIVING GOD.
RF SA1 12:15 But if you do not listen to the voice of the EVER-LIVING, but rebel against the direction of the EVER-LIVING, then the hand of the EVER-LIVING will be against you as it was against your fathers.
RF SA1 12:16 "Stand, therefore, now, and see the great event which the EVER-LIVING will effect in your sight.
RF SA1 12:17 Is it not wheat harvest at present? I will call to the EVER-LIVING, and He will send out the thunder and rain that you may recognize and see how great a sin you committed in the sight of the EVER-LIVING when you asked for a Leader!"
RF SA1 12:18 Then Samuel called to the EVER-LIVING, and the EVER-LIVING sent thunder with rain at once, and all the people saw the greatness of the EVER-LIVING and of Samuel.
RF SA1 12:19 Consequently all the assembly said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to your EVER-LIVING GOD that we may not be killed, although we have added to all our offences the sin of demanding a Leader for ourselves."
RF SA1 12:20 But Samuel replied to the people, "Fear not, although you have done this wrong! only do not turn away from the EVER-LIVING, but serve the EVER-LIVING with all your heart,
RF SA1 12:21 and turn not after Phantasms which cannot benefit or protect, for they are Phantasms!
RF SA1 12:22 The EVER-LIVING, however, will never forsake His People, because of His Great Name, for the EVER-LIVING undertook to make you His People!
RF SA1 12:23 As for myself it would be a shame for me, a sin against the EVER-LIVING, if I ceased to pray for you, and direct you in the way of honour and straightforwardness!
RF SA1 12:24 So remember the EVER-LIVING, and serve Him in truth with all your heart,—for you see it is this which will make you great!
RF SA1 12:25 But if you sin, then both you and your Leader will decay!"
