And you saw that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon came against you, and you said to me, No, for a king shall reign over us even though Jehovah your God was your king.
And I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be [for] God to you and to your seed after you.
And when all the Jews in Moab, and among the sons of Ammon, and in Edom, and who were in all the lands, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan,
and you have today risen against my father’s house and have killed his sons, seventy men on one stone, and have made Abimelech the son of his slave-girl king over the leaders of Shechem, because he is your brother,
But today you have rejected your God who Himself is your deliverer from all your evils and your distresses; yet you say to Him, But set a king over us! And now present yourselves before the face of Jehovah, by your tribes and by your families.
