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 “Depois que JacĂł entrou no Egito, eles clamaram ao SENHOR, e ele enviou MoisĂ©s e ArĂŁo para tirar os seus antepassados do Egito e os estabelecer neste lugar.
9 “Seus antepassados, porĂ©m, se esqueceram do SENHOR seu Deus; entĂŁo ele os vendeu a SĂ­sera, o comandante do exĂ©rcito de Hazor, aos filisteus e ao rei de Moabe, que lutaram contra eles.
10 Eles clamaram ao SENHOR, dizendo: ‘Pecamos, abandonando o SENHOR e prestando culto aos baalins e aos postes sagrados. Agora, porĂ©m, liberta-nos das mĂŁos dos nossos inimigos, e nĂłs prestaremos culto a ti’.
11 EntĂŁo o SENHOR enviou Jerubaal, Baraque, JeftĂ© e Samuel, e os libertou das mĂŁos dos inimigos que os rodeavam, de modo que vocĂȘs viveram em segurança.
12 “Quando porĂ©m, vocĂȘs viram que NaĂĄs, rei dos amonitas, estava avançando contra vocĂȘs, me disseram: ‘NĂŁo! Escolha um rei para nĂłs’, embora o SENHOR, o seu Deus, fosse o rei.
