If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [and admitted that they had sinned by forsaking him and serving the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and they told him that if he would deliver them from the hand of their enemies, they would serve him]

אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה

DOM YHWH

The Israelites are speaking directly to Yahweh, but they are referring to him in the third person. If it would be more natural in your language, you could translate this in the second person. Alternate translation: [you]
