- "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.

- 耶和华就差遣耶路巴力,比但,耶弗他,撒母耳救你们脱离四围仇敌的手,你们才安然居住。
- 你们见亚扪人的王拿辖来攻击你们,就对我说,我们定要一个王治理我们。其实耶和华你们的神是你们的王。
- 现在,你们所求所选的王在这里。看哪,耶和华已经为你们立王了。
- 你们若敬畏耶和华,事奉他,听从他的话,不违背他的命令,你们和治理你们的王也都顺从耶和华你们的神就好了。
- 倘若不听从耶和华的话,违背他的命令,耶和华的手必攻击你们,像从前攻击你们列祖一样。
