15 And the people of Israel said to the Lord, “We have sinned; ^pdo to us whatever seems good to you. Only please deliver us this day.”

18 So Samuel told him everything and hid nothing from him. And he said, “It is the Lord. Let him do what seems good to him.”

12 Be of good courage, and let us be courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him.”
