15 And the children of Israel said unto Jehovah, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; only deliver us, we pray thee, this day.
And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what seemeth him good.
but if he say thus, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.
Be of good courage, and let us play the man for ou people, and for the cities of our God: and Jehovah do that which seemeth him good.
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan said unto David, Jehovah also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of Jehovah; for his mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man.
He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not:
He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.
And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

But no doubt they were both raised up of God to serve their country in the quality of judges, not pretending, as Abimelech had done, to the grandeur of kings, nor, like him, taking the honour they had to themselves, but being called of God to it.
Jdg 10:6-9
While those two judges, Tola and Jair, presided in the affairs of Israel, things went well, but afterwards,
