Chap. XII.
Samuel being iustified by the people for his good behauiour, 6. chargeth them
with ingratitude towardes God, 14. admonishing them, and shewing by a
signe, that they offended in demanding a king. 20. Exhorteth them now
to serue God, promiseth to pray for them; and forwarneth that they shal
receiue as they deserue.
1 And Samuel sayd to al Israel: Behold I haue heard your
voice according to al thinges which you haue spoken
to me, and I haue appointed a king ouer you.
2 And now
the king goeth before you: and I am waxen old and haue
gray heares: moreouer my sonnes are with you: therfore hauing
conuersed with you from my youth vntil this day, loe I
am readie.
3 Speake of me before our Lord, and before his
Christ, whether I haue taken any mans oxe, or asse: If I
haue calumniated any man, if I haue oppressed any man, if
I haue taken gift of any mans hand: and I wil contemne
that same this day, and wil restore it to you.
4 And they
said thou hast not calumniated vs, nor oppressed vs, nor
taken ought of any mans hand.
5 And he sayd to them: Witnes
is our Lord against you, and witnes is his note Christ in
this day, that you haue not found any thing in my hand. And
-- --
Samuel. Saul.
they said: Witnes.
6 And Samuel said to the people: Our Lord
who made Moyses and Aaron, and brought our fathers out of
the Land of Ægypt is present.
7 Now therefore stand, that I
may contend in iudgement against you before our Lord, concerning
al the mercies of our Lord, which he hath done with
you, and with your fathers:
8 how Iacob entred into Ægypt,
and your fathers cried to our Lord: and our Lord sent Moyses
and Aaron, and brought your fathers out of Ægypt: and placed
them in this place.
9 Who forgat our Lord their God, and
he deliuered them in the hand of Sisara master of the hoste
of Hasor, and in the hand of the Philisthijmes, and in the
hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
10 But afterward they cried to our Lord, and said: We haue
sinned, because we haue forsaken our Lord, and haue serued
Baalim and Astaroth: now therefore deliuer vs from the hand
of our enemies, and we wil serue thee.
11 And our Lord sent
Ierobaal, and note Badan, and Iepte, and Samuel, and deliuered
you from the hand of your enemies round about, and you
dwelt securely.
12 But you seing that Naas, king of the children
of Ammon was come against you, you said to me: note Not
so, but a king shal reigne ouer vs: whereas our Lord your God
did reigne among you.
13 Now therfore your king is readie,
whom you haue chosen and desired: behold our Lord hath
geuen you a king.
14 If you shal feare our Lord, and serue him,
and heare his voice, and not exasperat the mouth of our Lord:
both you, and the king which reigneth ouer you, shal be folowers
of our Lord your God.
15 but if you wil not heare the
voice of our Lord, but shal exasperat his wordes, the hand of
our Lord shal be vpon you, and vpon your note fathers.
16 But
now also stand, and see this great thing which our Lord wil
doe in your sight.
17 Is it not wheate haruest to day? I wil
cal vpon our Lord, & he wil geue note noyses and rayne: and you
shal know, and see that you haue done great euil to your
selues in the sight of our Lord, desiring a king ouer you.
18 And
Samuel cried to our Lord, and our Lord gaue noyses and raine
in that day.
19 And al the people feared excedingly our Lord
and note Samuel. And al the people said to Samuel: Pray for thy
seruantes to our Lord thy God, that we die not. for we haue
added euil to al our sinnes, that we desired vnto vs a king.
20 And Samuel sayd to the people: Feare not, you haue done
al this euil: but yet depart not from the note backe of our Lord,
-- --
Samuel. Saul.
but serue our Lord in al your hart.
21 And decline not after
vaine thinges, which shal not profite you, nor deliuer you,
because they are vaine.
22 And our Lord wil not forsake his
people for his great name: because our Lord hath sworne
to make you a people to him self.
23 And farre from me be
this sinne in our Lord, that I should cease to pray for you,
and I wil teach you the good and right way.
24 Therefore
feare our Lord, and serue him in truth and from your whole
hart. for you haue seene the great workes which he hath done
among you.
25 But if you shal perseuer in malice: both you
and your king shal perish together.
