19And having put to destruction seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the land for their heritage for about four hundred and fifty years.
20And after these things he gave them judges, till the time of Samuel the prophet.
21Then at their request for a king, God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the family of Benjamin, who was their king for forty years.

23From this man's seed has God given to Israel a Saviour, even Jesus, as he gave his word;
24For whose coming John made ready the way by preaching to all the people of Israel the baptism which goes with a change of heart.
25And when John was completing his work, he said, What do I seem to you to be? I am not he; but one is coming after me, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.
