Judges 2:16-18

16And Jehovah raised up judges, and they saved them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

17But they did not even hearken to their judges, for they went a whoring after other 1gods, and bowed themselves to them; they turned quickly out of the way that their fathers had walked in, obeying the commandments of Jehovah; they did not so.

18And when Jehovah raised them up judges, then Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repented Jehovah because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and crushed them.
