30 Now when Phinʹe·has+ the priest and the chieftains of the assembly+ and the heads of the thousands of Israel who were with him heard the words that the sons of Reuʹben and the sons of Gad and the sons of Ma·nasʹseh spoke, it came to be good in their eyes.

19 But YOU—today YOU have rejected YOUR God+ who was a savior to YOU out of all YOUR evils and YOUR distresses, and YOU went on to say: “No, but* a king is what you should put over us.” And now take YOUR stand before Jehovah by YOUR tribes+ and by YOUR thousands.’”*
