Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.
      (2.) How he calls upon those that had slighted him to bear witness concerning his conduct: "Here I am; witness against me. If you have any thing to lay to my charge, do it before the Lord and the king, the proper judges." He puts honour upon Saul, by owning himself accountable to him if guilty of any wrong.
