Israel Disobeys The Lord

The enemies who surrounded the Israelis controlled them, and they were no longer able to withstand their adversaries. 15 Wherever they went, the LORD worked against them to bring misfortune, just as the LORD had warned, and just as the LORD had promised them. As a result, they suffered greatly. 16 Then the LORD raised up leaders, who delivered Israel from domination by their marauders.
