And now behold the king whom ye have chosen; and behold, the Lord has set a king over you. If ye should fear the Lord, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not resist the mouth of the Lord, and ye and your king that reigns over you should follow the Lord, [it is] well.

But if ye should not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and ye should resist the mouth of the Lord, then [with wrath] shall the hand of the Lord be upon you and upon your king.
