12. But when you saw that King Nahash of Ammon was about to attack you, you rejected the Lord as your king and said to me, ‘We want a king to rule us.’
13. “Now here is the king you chose; you asked for him, and now the Lord has given him to you.
14. All will go well with you if you honour the Lord your God, serve him, listen to him, and obey his commands, and if you and your king follow him.
15. But if you do not listen to the Lord but disobey his commands, he will be against you and your king.
16. So then, stand where you are, and you will see the great thing which the Lord is going to do.
