1 Samuel 12:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

12 And Samuel said to all Israel: Behold I have hearkened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.

² And now the king goeth before you: but I am old and greyheaded: and my sons are with you: having then conversed with you from my youth unto this day, behold here I am.

³ Speak of me before the Lord, and before his anointed, whether I have taken any man's ox, or ass: If I have wronged any man, if I have oppressed any man, if I have taken a bribe at any man's hand: and I will despise it this day, and will restore it to you.
