13 They abandoned Jehovah and served Baʹal and the Ashʹto·reth images.+

7 So the Israelites did what was bad in Jehovah’s eyes, and they forgot Jehovah their God and were serving the Baʹals+ and the sacred poles.*+

9 But they forgot Jehovah their God, and he sold them+ into the hand of Sisʹe·ra+ the chief of the army of Haʹzor and into the hand of the Phi·lisʹtines+ and into the hand of the king of Moʹab,+ and they fought against them. 10 And they called to Jehovah for help+ and said, ‘We have sinned,+ for we have left Jehovah to serve the Baʹals+ and the Ashʹto·reth+ images; now rescue us out of the hand of our enemies so that we may serve you.’
