The wicked will not oppress them as they used to do when I let judges rule my people. I have kept your enemies from attacking you. Now I promise that you and your descendants will be kings.

Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning. They have done this since the time I appointed leaders over my people Israel. I will also subdue all your enemies.
