Judges 2:16

And, though Yahweh raised up judges,—who saved them out of the hand of them that plundered them,

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

17yet, even unto their judges, did thy not hearken, for they went unchastely astray after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them,—they turned aside speedily out of the way wherein their fathers who hearkened unto the commandments of Yahweh, walked, they did not so.
