The King James Version Bible

1 Samuel 12:19-24

  1. And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.

  2. And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

  3. And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

  4. For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.

  5. Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:

  6. Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
