13 Now therefore see the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have asked for. Behold, the Lord has set a king over you.
14 If you will fear the Lord, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then both you and also the king who reigns over you are followers of the Lord your God.
15 But if you will not listen to the Lord’s voice, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the Lord’s hand will be against you, as it was against your fathers.
16 “Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.
17 Isn’t it wheat harvest today? I will call to the Lord, that he may send thunder and rain; and you will know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the Lord’s sight, in asking for a king.”
18 So Samuel called to the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day. Then all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
19 All the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, that we not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for a king.”
