11 So the Israelites did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah and served* the Baʹals.+

13 They abandoned Jehovah and served Baʹal and the Ashʹto·reth images.+

6 Again the Israelites did what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah,+ and they began to serve the Baʹals,+ the Ashʹto·reth images, the gods of Aʹram,* the gods of Siʹdon, the gods of Moʹab,+ the gods of the Amʹmon·ites,+ and the gods of the Phi·lisʹtines.+ They abandoned Jehovah and did not serve him.

3 Samuel then said to all the house of Israel: “If you are returning to Jehovah with all your heart,+ put away the foreign gods+ and the Ashʹto·reth images+ from among you, and direct your heart unswervingly to Jehovah and serve only him,+ and he will rescue you from the hand of the Phi·lisʹtines.”+
