Verse 1 is found in chapter 12 of 1 Samuel. Samuel presents his public record before Israel and challenges the people to identify any abuse he has committed. The statement functions as a defense of his integrity and as a transition between the period of the judges and the monarchy. Samuel recalls events from national history to demonstrate that God has repeatedly delivered Israel. A change of government does not mean a change of Lord: the people still belong to God and remain accountable to him.
