1 Samuel 10:18-19

18 und sprach zu den Kinder Israel: So sagt der HERR, der Gott Israels: Ich habe Israel aus Ägypten geführt und euch von der Ägypter Hand errettet und von der Hand aller Königreiche, die euch zwangen.

19 Und ihr habt euren Gott verworfen, der euch aus all eurem Unglück und Trübsal geholfen hat, und sprecht zu ihm: Setze einen König über uns. Wohlan! so tretet nun vor den HERRN nach euren Stämmen und Freundschaften.
