离弃了领他们出埃及地的耶和华他们列祖的神，去叩拜别神，就是四围列国的神，惹耶和华发怒； (cunps)

敬拜别神，触动神的愤恨，行可憎恶的事，惹了他的怒气。所祭祀的鬼魔并非真神，乃是素不认识的神，是近来新兴的，是你列祖所不畏惧的。 (cunps)

他们却不听从士师，竟随从叩拜别神，行了邪淫，速速地偏离他们列祖所行的道，不如他们列祖顺从耶和华的命令。 (cunps)

那时，以色列全地没有一个铁匠；因为非利士人说，恐怕希伯来人制造刀枪。以色列人要磨锄、犁、斧、铲，就下到非利士人那里去磨。但有锉可以锉铲、犁、三齿叉、斧子，并赶牛锥。所以到了争战的日子，跟随扫罗和约拿单的人没有一个手里有刀有枪的，惟独扫罗和他儿子约拿单有。 (cunps)

耶宾王有铁车九百辆。他大大欺压以色列人二十年，以色列人就呼求耶和华。 (cunps)
