So it was that the ark remained in Kirjath Jearim many days; it was twenty years. And all the house of Israel mourned after Jehovah.

And when the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

And when the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a deliverer for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man with his right hand impeded. By him the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon king of Moab.

And the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and for twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.

And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried out to Jehovah because of the Midianites,

And the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah, saying, We have sinned against You, because we have both forsaken our God and served the Baals!

And the children of Israel said to Jehovah, We have sinned! Do to us whatever seems good in Your eyes; only deliver us this day, we pray.

When He killed them, then they sought after Him; and they returned and sought earnestly for the Mighty God.

Then they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God was the One who redeemed them.

Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their cry;

Jehovah, in trouble they have visited You; they have poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.

They forsook Jehovah and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of Jehovah. They forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and groves.

And the children of Israel said to Jehovah, We have sinned! Do to us whatever seems good in Your eyes; only deliver us this day, we pray.

And they put away the foreign gods from among them and served Jehovah. And His soul was grieved because of Israel's troubles.

For Jehovah is our Judge, Jehovah is our Lawgiver, Jehovah is our King; He will save us.

To grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear,

in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

For the love of Christ holds us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;

and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto Him who died for them and rose again.
