³ So Samuel said to all the Israelites, “If you are returning^(A) to the Lord with all your hearts, then rid^(B) yourselves of the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths^(C) and commit^(D) yourselves to the Lord and serve him only,^(E) and he will deliver^(F) you out of the hand of the Philistines.” ⁴ So the Israelites put away their Baals and Ashtoreths, and served the Lord only.

¹⁰ They cried^(A) out to the Lord and said, ‘We have sinned; we have forsaken^(B) the Lord and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths.^(C) But now deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and we will serve you.’
