1 Samuel 12:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ You know that it does not rain at this time of the year, during the wheat harvest; I will pray for the Lord to send thunder and rain today, so that you will realize the extent of your wickedness in asking for a king!”

¹⁸ So Samuel called to the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain; and all the people were very much afraid of the Lord and of Samuel.

¹⁹ “Pray for us lest we die!” they cried out to Samuel. “For now we have added to all our other sins by asking for a king.”
