<p class="bodytext">The Israelites cried out for help to the <sc>Lordsc>: &#8220;We have sinned against you. We abandoned our God and worshiped<n id="1" /> the Baals.&#8221;

But the Israelites said to the <sc>Lordsc>, &#8220;We have sinned. You do to us as you see fit,<n id="1" /> but deliver us today!&#8221;<n id="2" />

Among this army<n id="1" /> were seven hundred specially-trained left-handed soldiers.<n id="2" /> Each one could sling a stone and hit even the smallest target.<n id="3" />

I have not done you wrong,<n id="1" /> but you are doing wrong<n id="2" /> by attacking me. May the <sc>Lordsc>, the Judge, judge this day between the Israelites and the Ammonites!&#8217;&#8221;
