Acts of the Apostles 13:21

In context

19he overthrew seven nations in the land of Canaan and gave them their land as an inheritance. 20All this took about four hundred and fifty years. After that he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet. 21Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. 22He removed him and raised up David as their king, and he testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will do everything I want.’ 23From this man’s offspring God has brought Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised.
