Bible Comments

Behold the king whom ye have chosen Though God chose him by lot, yet the people are said to choose him; either generally, because they chose that form of government; or particularly, because they approved of God's choice, and confirmed it. The Lord hath set a king ever you He hath yielded to your inordinate desire.

1 Samuel 12:13
