[1]Samuel then said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have appointed a king over you. |

[3]Behold, here I am: bear record of me before the Lord and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Or whose ass have I taken? Or whom have I done wrong to? Or whom have I hurt? Or of whose hand have I received any bribe, to blind mine eyes therewith, and I will restore it you? |
| [4]They sayde: Thou hast done vs no wrong, nor hurt vs, neither hast thou taken ought of any mans hande |
[4]Then they said, Thou hast done us no wrong, nor hast hurt us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand. |
| [5]He sayd vnto them againe: The Lord is witnesse against you, and his annoynted is witnesse this day, that ye haue found naught in my handes. And they aunswered: He is witnesse |
[5]And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have found naught in mine hands. And they answered, He is witness. |

[19]And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we have sinned in asking us a king, beside all our other sins. |
| [20]And Samuel sayde vnto the people, feare not (Ye haue in deede done al this wickednesse, yet depart not from folowing of the Lorde, but serue the Lorde with all your heartes |
[20]And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not. (ye have indeed done all this wickedness, yet depart not from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart, |
| [21]Neither turne ye away, for [then ye go] after vayne thinges, which are not able to profite you, nor deliuer you, for they are but vanitie. |
[21]Neither turn ye back: for that should be after vain things which cannot profit you, nor deliver you, for they are but vanity) |
