Bible Comments

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, 1 Samuel 10:24, and confirmed it, 1 Samuel 11:15. The Lord hath set a king over you; he hath yielded to your inordinate desire.

1 Samuel 12:13

13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.
