- 耶和華就差遣耶路巴力、比但、耶弗他、撒母耳、救你們脫離四圍仇敵的手、你們纔安然居住。
- 你們見亞捫人的王拿轄來攻擊你們、就對我說、我們定要一個王治理我們.其實耶和華你們的 神是你們的王。
- 現在你們所求所選的王在這裡、看哪、耶和華已經為你們立王了。
- 你們若敬畏耶和華、事奉他、聽從他的話、不違背他的命令、你們和治理你們的王也都順從耶和華你們的 神就好了。
- 倘若不聽從耶和華的話、違背他的命令、耶和華的手必攻擊你們、像從前攻擊你們列祖一樣。

- "Then the LORD sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel, and delivered you from the hands of your enemies all around, so that you lived in security.
- "When you saw that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon came against you, you said to me, 'No, but a king shall reign over us,' although the LORD your God was your king.
- "Now therefore, here is the king whom you have chosen, whom you have asked for, and behold, the LORD has set a king over you.
- "If you will fear the LORD and serve Him, and listen to His voice and not rebel against the command of the LORD, then both you and also the king who reigns over you will follow the LORD your God.
- "If you will not listen to the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the command of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD will be against you, as it was against your fathers.
