TSK · Proverbs 24:21

When Israel saw the great power that the LORD had exercised over the Egyptians, they feared the LORD, and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.

They said to him,“Look, you are old, and your sons don’t follow your ways. So now appoint over us a king to lead us, just like all the other nations have.”

He said to his men,“May the LORD keep me far away from doing such a thing to my lord, who is the LORD’s chosen one, by extending my hand against him. After all, he is the LORD’s chosen one.”

The battle there was spread out over the whole area, and the forest consumed more soldiers than the sword devoured that day.

When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, the people answered the king,“We have no portion in David, no share in the son of Jesse! Return to your homes, O Israel! Now, look after your own dynasty, O David!” So Israel returned to their homes.

Do not let your heart envy sinners, but rather be zealous in fearing the LORD all the time.

Do not rush out of the king’s presence in haste– do not delay when the matter is unpleasant, for he can do whatever he pleases.
