Judges

For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.

And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the Lord your God was your king.

And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes, and by your thousands.

And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
