1 Samuel 12:8-12

81WhenH3512 JacobH3290 wentH935 into EgyptH4714 and 2your fathersH1 criedH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068, then 3the LordH3068 sentH7971 MosesH4872 and AaronH175 45who broughtH3318 your fathersH1 outH3318 of EgyptH4714 and settledH3427 them in thisH2088 placeH4725.

9But 6they forgotH7911 the LordH3068 their GodH430, so 7He soldH4376 them into the handH3027 of SiseraH5516, commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 of HazorH2674, and 8into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430, and 9into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and they foughtH3898 against them.

1010They criedH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068 and saidH559, ‘We have sinnedH2398, becauseH3588 we have abandonedH5800 the LordH3068 and have servedH5647 11the BaalsH1168 and the AshtarothH6252; but 12nowH6258 saveH5337 us from the handsH3027 of our enemiesH340, and we will serveH5647 You.’

11Then the LordH3068 sentH7971 13JerubbaalH3378, 1415BedanH917, 16JephthahH3316, and 17SamuelH8050, and savedH5337 you from the handsH3027 of your enemiesH340 allH4480H5439 aroundH5439, so that you livedH3427 in securityH983.

12But when you sawH7200 18that NahashH5176 the kingH4428 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 was comingH935 againstH5921 you, you saidH559 to me, ‘19NoH3808, but a kingH4428 shall reignH4427 overH5921 us!’ 20Yet the LordH3068 your GodH430 was your kingH4428.
