^27 (A)But the Lord had not said that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, so he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

¹⁸ Whenever the Lord raised up judges for them, ^(A)the Lord was with the judge, and he saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. ^(B)For the Lord was moved to pity by ^(C)their groaning because of those who afflicted and oppressed them.
