1 Samuel 12:4

---

← 1 Samuel 12:3	1 Samuel 12:4 (KJV)	1 Samuel 12:5 →
Behold, here I [am]: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received [any] bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.	And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.	And he said unto them, The LORD [is] witness against you, and his anointed [is] witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, [He is] witness.
