English Standard Version

Saul Proclaimed King

¹⁷ Now Samuel called the people together ^(A)to the Lord ^(B)at Mizpah. ¹⁸ And he said to the people of Israel, ^(C)“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.’ ^19 (D)But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your calamities and your distresses, and you have said to him, ‘Set a king over us.’ Now therefore ^(E)present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.”
