1 Samuel 12:9-11

Living Bible

⁹ But they soon forgot about the Lord their God, so he let them be conquered by Sisera, the general of King Hazor’s army, and by the Philistines and the king of Moab.

¹⁰ “Then they cried to the Lord again and confessed that they had sinned by turning away from him and worshiping the Baal and Ashtaroth idols. And they pleaded, ‘We will worship you and you alone if you will only rescue us from our enemies.’ ¹¹ Then the Lord sent Gideon, Barak, Jephthah, and Samuel to save you, and you lived in safety.
