1 Samuel 12:17-19
English Standard Version
17 (A)Is it not wheat harvest today? (B)I will call upon the Lord, that he may send thunder and rain. And you shall know and see that (C)your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking for yourselves a king.” 18 So Samuel called upon the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day, (D)and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
19 And all the people said to Samuel, (E)“Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for ourselves a king.”
