1 Samuel 10:18-19

18 Allí les dijo a los israelitas:«Así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel: “Yo saqué a Israel de Egipto. Yo los libré a ustedes del poder de los egipcios y de todos los reinos que los oprimían”.

19 Ahora, sin embargo, ustedes han rechazado a su Dios, quien los libra de todas las calamidades y aflicciones. Han dicho: “¡No! ¡Danos un rey que nos gobierne!” Por tanto, preséntense ahora ante el SEÑOR por tribus y por familias».
