Samuel’s Farewell Address

1 And Samuel said to all Israel, “Behold, I have obeyed ^ayour voice in all that you have said to me ^band have made a king over you. 2 And now, behold, the king ^cwalks before you, ^dand I am old and gray; and behold, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth until this day. 3 Here I am; testify against me before the Lord and before ^ehis anointed. ^fWhose ox have I taken? Or whose donkey have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? Testify against me ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew lacks Testify against me} and I will restore it to you.” 4 They said, “You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from any man’s hand.” 5 And he said to them, “The Lord is witness against you, and ^hhis anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything ⁱin my hand.” And they said, “He is witness.”
