In Context

19 All the people said to Samuel, |Pray for your servants to Yahweh your God, that we not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.|

20 Samuel said to the people, |Don't be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil; yet don't turn aside from following Yahweh, but serve Yahweh with all your heart.

21 Don't turn aside; for then you would go after vain things which can't profit nor deliver, for they are vain.

22 For Yahweh will not forsake his people for his great name's sake, because it has pleased Yahweh to make you a people to himself.

23 Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

24 Only fear Yahweh, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things he has done for you.
