If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:

Verse 14 is found in chapter 12 of 1 Samuel. Samuel reviews the history from Egypt to the request for a king and points out that Israel repeatedly abandoned the Lord and ended up under oppression. When they cried out, God raised deliverers. Now the people have a king, but the fundamental condition remains: both king and people must obey the voice of the Lord. The passage establishes a theology of monarchy subordinated to the covenant. Political authority does not replace religious obedience.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
