1 Samuel 12:9-11
Easy-to-Read Version
9 “But your ancestors forgot the Lord their God. So he let them become the slaves of Sisera, the commander of the army at Hazor. Then the Lord let them become the slaves of the Philistines and the king of Moab. They all fought against your ancestors. 10 But your ancestors cried to the Lord for help. They said, ‘We have sinned. We left the Lord, and we served the false gods Baal and Ashtoreth. But now save us from our enemies, and we will serve you.’
11 “So the Lord sent Gideon,[a] Barak,[b] Jephthah, and Samuel.[c] He saved you from your enemies around you, and you lived in safety.
