“ But when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me,‘ No, we want a king to rule over us’— even though the Lord your God was your king.

“ But then you saw that Nahash, the king of Ammon, was about to attack you. So you said to me,‘ No! We want a king to rule over us.’ You said it even though the Lord your God was your king.

And when you saw that Nahash the king of the Ammonites came against you, you said to me,‘ No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when the Lord your God was your king.

And when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites came against you, you said to me,‘ No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when the Lord your God was your king.

基甸说：“我不管理你们，我的儿子也不管理你们，惟有耶和华管理你们。”

对他说：“你年纪老迈了，你儿子不行你的道。现在求你为我们立一个王治理我们，像列国一样。”撒母耳不喜悦他们说“立一个王治理我们”，他就祷告耶和华。耶和华对撒母耳说：“百姓向你说的一切话，你只管依从；因为他们不是厌弃你，乃是厌弃我，不要我作他们的王。

你们今日却厌弃了救你们脱离一切灾难的神，说：‘求你立一个王治理我们。’现在你们应当按着支派、宗族都站在耶和华面前。”

亚扪人的王拿辖上来，对着基列雅比安营。雅比众人对拿辖说：“你与我们立约，我们就服侍你。”亚扪人拿辖说：“你们若由我剜出你们各人的右眼，以此凌辱以色列众人，我就与你们立约。”

你曾求我说：‘给我立王和首领。’现在你的王在哪里呢？治理你的在哪里呢？让他在你所有的城中拯救你吧！

你们如今起来攻击我的父家，将他众子七十人杀在一块磐石上，又立他婢女所生的儿子亚比米勒为示剑人的王；他原是你们的弟兄。

如今你们若实在听从我的话，遵守我的约，就要在万民中作属我的子民，因为全地都是我的。你们要归我作祭司的国度，为圣洁的国民。’这些话你要告诉以色列人。”

因为，耶和华是审判我们的；耶和华是给我们设律法的；耶和华是我们的王；他必拯救我们。

神自古以来为我的王，在地上施行拯救。

他未见雅各中有罪孽，也未见以色列中有奸恶。耶和华他的神和他同在；有欢呼王的声音在他们中间。

他儿子不行他的道，贪图财利，收受贿赂，屈枉正直。

我要与你并你世世代代的后裔坚立我的约，作永远的约，是要作你和你后裔的神。

百姓竟不肯听撒母耳的话，说：“不然！我们定要一个王治理我们，使我们像列国一样，有王治理我们，统领我们，为我们争战。”

这样，神报应亚比米勒向他父亲所行的恶，就是杀了弟兄七十个人的恶。示剑人的一切恶，神也都报应在他们头上；耶路巴力的儿子约坦的咒诅归到他们身上了。
