This is a little late, but I remembered a verse from the Psalms I found that seemed connected to last week's Torah portion, Korach (Numbers 16-18). This portion relates Yahweh's confirmation of Moses and Aaron as His chosen leaders of Israel. The reading from the Prophets (I Samuel 11:14-12:22) is about Samuel's final address to the children of Israel, and Yahweh's confirmation of him as His chosen leader.
Here's what I found:

"Exalt Yahweh, our God, and bow at His footstool; He is holy! Moses and Aaron were among His priests, and Samuel among those who invoke His Name; they called upon Yahweh, and He answered them. In a pillar of cloud He spoke to them; they obeyed His testimonies and whatever decree He gave them." Psalm 99:5-7
