Kabbalah 1 Samuel 12:9: Reshit Chokhmah

וַֽיִּשְׁכְּח֖וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיִּמְכֹּ֣ר אֹתָ֡ם בְּיַ֣ד סִֽיסְרָא֩ שַׂר־צְבָ֨א חָצ֜וֹר וּבְיַד־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֗ים וּבְיַד֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ מוֹאָ֔ב וַיִּֽלָּחֲמ֖וּ בָּֽם׃

Tetapi mereka melupakan Yang Mahakekal, Allah mereka, sehingga Ia menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tangan Sisera, panglima tentara Hazor, ke dalam tangan orang Filistin, dan ke dalam tangan raja Moab, dan mereka memerangi nenek moyang kalian.

Reshit Chokhmah

29. Rabbi Yosi opened the discussion saying: “And when they forgot Hashem their Elohim” (I Shmuel 12:9), and “And they forsook Hashem” (Shoftim 2:13). AND HE ASKS: What is: “And when they forgot,” and “And they forsook”? AND HE ANSWERS: They repelled from themselves the Holy Covenant, they circumcised but did not uncover until Deborah came and offered this, BY INTRODUCING PRIAH (‘UNCOVERING OF THE CORONA’) throughout Yisrael, as it says, “In time of tumultuous strife (Heb. pra’ot) in Yisrael, when the people willingly offered themselves; praise Hashem” (Shoftim 5:2).
