18. So Samuel called unto the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
19. And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.
20. And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart;
21. And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
22. For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.
