1 Samuel 12:1 In-Context

1 Sh'mu'el said to all Isra'el, "Here, I have done everything you asked me to do -I have made a king over you.
2 There is the king, walking ahead of you; but I am old and gray-headed. There are my sons with you, and I have walked at your head from when I was a boy until today.
3 So here I am; now is the time to witness against me before ADONAI and before his anointed king. Does any of you think I have taken your ox or donkey, defrauded or oppressed you, or accepted a bribe to deprive you of justice? Tell me, and I will restore it to you."
4 They answered, "You haven't defrauded or oppressed us, and you have accepted nothing from anyone."
5 He said, "ADONAI is witness against you, and his anointed king is witness against you today, that you have found nothing in my hands?" They replied, "He is witness."
