And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 12 of 1 Samuel. Samuel reviews the history from Egypt to the request for a king and points out that Israel repeatedly abandoned the Lord and ended up under oppression. When they cried out, God raised deliverers. Now the people have a king, but the fundamental condition remains: both king and people must obey the voice of the Lord. The passage establishes a theology of monarchy subordinated to the covenant. Political authority does not replace religious obedience.

Aber da sie des HERRN, ihres Gottes, vergaßen, verkaufte er sie unter die Gewalt Siseras, des Feldhauptmanns zu Hazor, und unter die Gewalt der Philister und unter die Gewalt des Königs der Moabiter, die stritten wider sie.
Y olvidaron a Jehová su Dios, y él los vendió en la mano de Sísara capitán del ejército de Asor, y en la mano de los Filisteos, y en la mano del rey de Moab, los cuales les hicieron guerra.
Pero se olvidaron de Jehová su Dios, y él los vendió en manos de Sísara, jefe del ejército de Hazor, en manos de los filisteos y en manos del rey de Moab, que lucharon contra ellos.
Mais ils oublièrent l'Eternel, leur Dieu; et il les vendit entre les mains de Sisera, chef de l'armée de Hatsor, entre les mains des Philistins, et entre les mains du roi de Moab, qui leur firent la guerre.
Ma essi, dimenticando il Signore Iddio loro, egli li vendè in mano di Sisera, capitano dell’esercito d’Hasor, e in mano de’ Filistei, e in mano del re di Moab, i quali guerreggiarono contro a loro.
Porém esqueceram-se do SENHOR seu Deus; então os vendeu à mão de Sísera, capitão do exército de Hazor, e na mão dos filisteus, e na mão do rei dos moabitas, que pelejaram contra eles.
他們卻忘記耶和華-他們的上帝,他就把他們交給 夏瑣 將軍 西西拉 的手中,以及 非利士 人和 摩押 王的手中 。於是這些人常來攻擊他們。
