But today you have rejected your God who saves you from all your trouble and distress. You have said,“ No! Appoint a king over us.” Now take your positions before the LORD by your tribes and by your clans.’”

“ When you saw that King Nahash of the Ammonites was advancing against you, you said to me,‘ No! A king will rule over us’– even though the LORD your God is your king!

For the LORD, our ruler, the LORD, our commander, the LORD, our king– he will deliver us.

A dispute also started among them over which of them was to be regarded as the greatest.So Jesus said to them,“ The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called‘ benefactors.’Not so with you; instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the one who serves.For who is greater, the one who is seated at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is seated at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

And do not lord it over those entrusted to you, but be examples to the flock.

The leaders of Gilead said to one another,“ Who is willing to lead the charge against the Ammonites? He will become the leader of all who live in Gilead!”

Jephthah said to the leaders of Gilead,“ All right! If you take me back to fight with the Ammonites and the LORD gives them to me, I will be your leader.”The leaders of Gilead said to Jephthah,“ The LORD will judge any grievance you have against us, if we do not do as you say.”So Jephthah went with the leaders of Gilead. The people made him their leader and commander. Jephthah repeated the terms of the agreement before the LORD in Mizpah.

When the LORD raised up leaders for them, the LORD was with each leader and delivered the people from their enemies while the leader remained alive. The LORD felt sorry for them when they cried out in agony because of what their harsh oppressors did to them.
