1 Samuel 12:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹³ Now, here is the king you chose. The Lord put this king over you. ¹⁴ You must fear and respect the Lord. You must serve him and obey his commands. You must not turn against him. You and the king ruling over you must follow the Lord your God. If you do, God will save you.^{[a] 15} But if you don’t listen to the Lord, if you refuse to do what the Lord says, he will be against you. The Lord will destroy you and your king.
