And the Lord gave a saviour to Israel, and he was delivered from the hand of the king of Syria; and the sons of Israel dwelled in their tabernacles, as yesterday and the third day ago. (And the Lord gave a saviour to Israel, and they were rescued from the hands of the king of Syria; and then the Israelites lived in their homes, like yesterday and the third day ago.)

But they did not turn away from the sins(B) of the house of Jeroboam, which he had caused Israel to commit; they continued in them. Also, the Asherah pole[a](C) remained standing in Samaria.
