3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If with all your heart you are turning to Yahweh, remove the foreign gods and Ashtorethsc from your midst. Commit your hearts to Yahweh and serve him alone. Then he will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.” 4 So the ⌊Israelites⌋d removed the Baalse and the Ashtoreths, and they served Yahweh alone.
