1 Samuel 12:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 (A) But your ancestors forgot the Lord, so he let them be defeated by the Philistines, the king of Moab, and Sisera, the commander of Hazor's army.
10 (B)(C) Again your ancestors cried out to the Lord for help. They said, “We have sinned! We stopped worshiping you, our Lord, and started worshiping Baal and Astarte. But now, if you rescue us from our enemies, we will worship you.”
11 (D) The Lord sent Gideon,[a] Bedan, Jephthah, and Samuel to rescue you from your enemies, and you didn't have to worry about being attacked.
