Genesis 41:33-40
“ Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years.And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.Then that food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land may not perish during the famine.”So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.And Pharaoh said to his servants,“ Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”Then Pharaoh said to Joseph,“ Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”

1 Samuel 7 3-1 Samuel 7 6
Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying,“ If you return to the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and prepare your hearts for the Lord, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.”So the children of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and served the Lord only.And Samuel said,“ Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the Lord for you.”So they gathered together at Mizpah, drew water, and poured it out before the Lord. And they fasted that day, and said there,“ We have sinned against the Lord.” And Samuel judged the children of Israel at Mizpah.
