1 Samuel 12:1-3

12:1 Samuel said to all Israel, “I have done ¹  everything you requested. ²  I have given you a king. ³  12:2 Now look! This king walks before you. As for me, I am old and gray, though my sons are here with you. I have walked before you from the time of my youth till the present day. 12:3 Here I am. Bring a charge against me before the Lord and before his chosen king. ⁴  Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I wronged? Whom have I oppressed? From whose hand have I taken a bribe so that I would overlook something? Tell me, ⁵  and I will return it to you!”
