20:10 Now the Ammonites, Moabites, and men from Mount Seir are coming! 1 When Israel came from the land of Egypt, you did not allow them to invade these lands. 2 They bypassed them and did not destroy them.
20:11 Look how they are repaying us! They come to drive us out of our allotted land which you assigned to us!
20:12 Our God, will you not judge them? For we are powerless against this huge army that attacks us! We don’t know what we should do; we look to you for help.” 3
