And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord.

For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord; what then should a king do to us?

And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection. See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.

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

I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

Nevertheless the Lord raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them. And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the Lord; but they did not so. And when the Lord raised them up judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the Lord because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.

The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
