Acts 13:17-22

¹⁷The God of this people chose our fathers, and he exalted the people in their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm he brought them out of it;

¹⁸and for about forty years he nourished them in the wilderness.

¹⁹And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as a possession.

²⁰And after that, for about four hundred and fifty years, he gave judges, until Samuel the prophet.

²¹And afterward they asked for a king; and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

²²and having removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king, to whom he gave testimony, saying, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will do all my will.”
