1 Samuel 12:22
King James Version
“For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.”
Context
19And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins evil, to ask us a king.
20And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;
21And turn ye not aside: for after vain which cannot profit nor deliver; for they vain.
22For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.
23Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
24Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great he hath done for you.
25But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
