But now, deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and we will serve You.' 11 Then the LORD sent Jerubbaal, Bedan, Jephthah, and Samuel, and He delivered you from the hand of your enemies on every side, so that you lived in safety. 12 But when you saw that Nahash, king of the Ammonites, came against you, you said to me, ‘No, we want a king to reign over us,’ even though the LORD your God was your king. 13 Now here is the king you have chosen, the one you asked for. See, the LORD has set a king over you. 14 If you fear the LORD, serve Him, obey His voice, and do not rebel against His command, then both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the LORD your God. 15 But if you do not obey the LORD and rebel against His command, then the hand of the LORD will be against you, as it was against your ancestors.
