1 Samuel 10:18-19

18 y dijo a los hijos de Israel: Así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel: "Yo saqué a Israel de Egipto, y os libré del poder de los egipcios y del poder de todos los reinos que os oprimían."

19 Pero vosotros habéis rechazado hoy a vuestro Dios, que os libra de todas vuestras calamidades y vuestras angustias, y habéis dicho: "No, sino pon un rey sobre nosotros." Ahora pues, presentaos delante del SEÑOR por vuestras tribus y por vuestras familias.
