Legacy Standard Bible
17 (A)Is it not the wheat harvest today? (B)I will call to Yahweh, that He may send [a]thunder and rain. Then you will know and see that (C)your wickedness is great which you have done in the eyes of Yahweh by asking for yourselves a king.” 18 So Samuel called to Yahweh, and Yahweh sent [b]thunder and rain that day; and (D)all the people greatly feared Yahweh and Samuel.
19 Then all the people said to Samuel, “(E)Pray for your servants to Yahweh your God, so that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins (F)this evil by asking for ourselves a king.”
