Acts 13:19-24

¹⁹After he had overthrown seven nations living in the land of Canaan, God divided their land among the Israelites and gave it to them to inherit. This took about four hundred and fifty years.

²⁰Then he provided them with judges as leaders until the time of the prophet Samuel.

²¹Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, son of Kish from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled for forty years.

²²Then God removed Saul, and made David their king. God approved of David, saying ‘I found David the son of Jesse to be a man according to my own heart; he will do everything I intend.’

²³Jesus is David's descendant; he is the Savior that God promised to bring to Israel.

²⁴Before Jesus came, John announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
