1 Samuel 12:10

Listen to 1 Samuel 12:10
10 Y clamaron al SE脩OR, y dijeron: "Hemos pecado porque hemos dejado al SE脩OR y hemos servido a los baales y a Astarot; pero ahora, l铆branos de la mano de nuestros enemigos, y te serviremos."

1 Samuel 12:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 12:10

And they cried unto the Lord
When in the hands of their enemies, and in bondage to them, and cruelly oppressed by them:

and said, we have sinned;
the word for "said" is in the Cetib, or written text, singular, and in the Keri, or marginal reading, plural; and may signify, that everyone of them had a sense of their sin, and made acknowledgment of it; their confession was universal, as their sin was:

because we have forsaken the Lord;
the Word of the Lord, as the Targum:

and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth; (See Gill on Judges 2:11), (See Gill on Judges 2:13).

but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve
thee;
they did not ask for a king to go before them, and fight their battles, as they did now, but applied to the Lord for deliverance, promising to serve him as their King and their God.

1 Samuel 12:10 In-Context

8 Cuando Jacob fue a Egipto y vuestros padres clamaron al SE脩OR, el SE脩OR envi贸 a Mois茅s y a Aar贸n, quienes sacaron a vuestros padres de Egipto y los establecieron en este lugar.
9 Pero ellos olvidaron al SE脩OR su Dios, y El los vendi贸 en manos de S铆sara, jefe del ej茅rcito de Hazor, en manos de los filisteos y en manos del rey de Moab, los cuales pelearon contra ellos.
10 Y clamaron al SE脩OR, y dijeron: "Hemos pecado porque hemos dejado al SE脩OR y hemos servido a los baales y a Astarot; pero ahora, l铆branos de la mano de nuestros enemigos, y te serviremos."
11 Entonces el SE脩OR envi贸 a Jerobaal, a Bed谩n , a Jeft茅 y a Samuel, y os libr贸 de la mano de vuestros enemigos en derredor, de manera que habitasteis con seguridad.
12 Cuando visteis que Nahas, rey de los hijos de Am贸n, ven铆a contra vosotros, me dijisteis: "No, sino que un rey ha de reinar sobre nosotros", aunque el SE脩OR vuestro Dios era vuestro rey.
