1 SAMUEL 12:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they cried unto the Lord, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.”
And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, the captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them — Samuel now describes Israel's pattern of apostasy and judgment. When the people forgot (shakchu, forgot or ignored) God, he allowed them to be enslaved ('vaye'kerem, he sold them') to hostile powers: Sisera and the Hazor Canaanites (defeated by Deborah and Barak in Judges 4), the Philistines, and the Moabites.
