“And the children of Israel remembered not the Lord their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:”
And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, which had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side — The narrator explicitly condemns Israel's amnesia. They forget (לֹא זָכְרוּ, lo zakhru) the LORD who delivered them from all enemies. The phrase 'remembered not' is the inverse of covenantal remembrance (zachor).
