- the LORD[YHWH]:
- "But the thingª displeasedªª° Samuel,ª when¹ they said,ª° Giveª° us a kingª to judgeª° us. And Samuelª prayedª° unto¹ the LORD.ª ... And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Samuel,ª Hearkenª° unto the voiceª of the peopleª in all¹ that¹ they sayª° unto¹ thee: for¹ they have not¹ rejectedª° thee, but¹ they have rejectedª° me, that I should not reignª°¹ over¹ them." {1Sm 8:6-7} + "And ye¹ have this dayª rejectedª°¹ your God,ª who¹ himself¹ savedª° you out of all¹¹ your adversitiesª and your tribulations;ª and ye have saidª° unto him, [Nay], but¹ setª° a kingª over¹ us. Now¹ therefore present²° yourselves¹ beforeª the LORDª by your tribes,ª and by your thousands.ª" {1Sm 10:19} + "And when ye sawª° that¹ Nahashª the kingª of the childrenª of Ammonª cameª° against¹ you, ye saidª° unto me, Nay;¹ but¹ a kingª shall reignª° over¹ us: when the LORDª your Godª [was] your king.ª" {1Sm 12:12} + "For¹ the LORDª [is] our judge,ª° the LORDª [is] our lawgiver,ª° the LORDª [is] our king;ª he¹ will saveª° us." {Isa 33:22} + "We are¹ [thine]: thou neverª¹¹ barest ruleª° over them; they were not¹ calledª° by¹ thy name.ª" {Isa 63:19}
