³ Samuel spoke to ·the whole group [^Lall the people/house] of Israel, saying, “If you’re turning back to the Lord with all your hearts, you must ·remove [get rid of; banish] your foreign gods and your idols of Ashtoreth. You must ·give yourselves [commit; direct your hearts] fully to the Lord and serve only him. Then he will ·save [rescue; deliver] you from the Philistines.”

⁴ So the Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] ·put away [got rid of; banished] their idols of Baal and Ashtoreth, and they served only the Lord.
