1 Samuel 12:1

CONTENTS

This Chapter contains the address to Samuel, on the resignation of his government, now Saul is king. He appeals to him concerning, his own integrity, in the administration of justice; brings the people to the acknowledgment of it: points out, yet once again, their sin and folly in the insisting upon a king: at the call of Samuel the Lord answers, in confirmation of what he had said of their sin and his rectitude, in sending thunder; and the chapter concludes with Samuel's assurances, that if the people obeyed the Lord, both they and their king should be preserved.
