And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay, but a king shall reign over us; when Jehovah your God was your king.
Forsoþe ye sien, þat Naas, kyng of þe sones of Amon, cam ayens you; and ye seiden to me, counseilynge to axe noon oþer kyng than God, Nay, but a kyng schal comaunde to vs; whanne youre Lord God regnede in you.
