But if you don’t obey the LORD and rebel against what the LORD says, the hand of the LORD will be against both you and your king.
“So now, take your positions and watch this great thing that the LORD is about to do in your sight.
Is this not the time of the wheat harvest? I will call on the LORD so that he makes it thunder and rain. Realize and see what a great sin you have committed before the LORD by asking for a king for yourselves.”
So Samuel called to the LORD, and the LORD made it thunder and rain that day. All the people were very afraid of both the LORD and Samuel.
All the people said to Samuel,“Pray to the LORD your God on behalf of us– your servants– so we won’t die, for we have added to all our sins by asking for a king.”
Then Samuel said to the people,“Don’t be afraid. You have indeed sinned. However, don’t turn aside from the LORD. Serve the LORD with all your heart.
You should not turn aside after empty things that can’t profit and can’t deliver, since they are empty.
