13
Then all the judges, every one by name, whose heart was not corrupted: who turned not away from the Lord,
14
That their memory might be blessed, and their bones spring up out of their place,
15
And their name continue for ever, the glory of the holy men remaining unto their children.
16
Samuel the prophet of the Lord, the beloved of the Lord his God, established a new government, and anointed princes over his people.
17
By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and the God of Jacob beheld, and by his fidelity he was proved a prophet.
18
And he was known to be faithful in his words, because he saw the God of light:
19
And called upon the name of the Lord Almighty, in fighting against the enemies who beset him on every side, when he offered a lamb without blemish.
20
And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard.
21
And he crushed the princes of the Tyrians, and all the lords of the Philistines:
22
And before the time of the end of his life in the world, he protested before the Lord, and his anointed: money, or any thing else, even to a shoe, he had not taken of any man, and no mall did accuse him.
23
And after this he slept, and he made known to the king, and shewed him the end of his life, and he lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy to blot out the wickedness of the nation.
