³⁰ When you are in distress^(A) and all these things have happened to you, then in later days^(B) you will return^(C) to the Lord your God and obey 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.”
