1 Samuel 12:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ When Jacob went into Egypt and the Egyptians oppressed them,^[a] then your ancestors cried to the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, who brought forth your ancestors out of Egypt and settled them in this place.^{(A) 9} But they forgot the Lord their God, and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the army of King Jabin of^[b] Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.^{(B) 10} Then they cried to the Lord and said, ‘We have sinned, for we have forsaken the Lord and have served the Baals and the Astartes, but now rescue us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.’^(C)
