1 Samuel 12:12

Back to Verses

And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king.

When you noticed King Nahash of the Ammonites approaching, you told me, "No, we don't want that." Instead, we want a human ruler. But the LORD was already your true king.
