¹³ because they forsook^(A) him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.^(B)

Jephthah

⁶ Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord.^(A) They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths,^(B) and the gods of Aram,^(C) the gods of Sidon,^(D) the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites^(E) and the gods of the Philistines.^(F) And because the Israelites forsook the Lord^(G) and no longer served him,

³ So Samuel said to all the Israelites, “If you are returning^(A) to the Lord with all your hearts, then rid^(B) yourselves of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths^(C) and commit^(D) yourselves to the Lord and serve him only,^(E) and he will deliver^(F) you out of the hand of the Philistines.”

⁴ So the Israelites put away their Baals and Ashtoreths, and served the Lord only.

¹⁰ They cried^(A) out to the Lord and said, ‘We have sinned; we have forsaken^(B) the Lord and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths.^(C) But now deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and we will serve you.’
