Judges 10:7-10
10:7 The
Lord was furious with Israel
and turned them over to
the Philistines and Ammonites.
10:8 They ruthlessly oppressed
the Israelites that eighteenth year
– that is, all the Israelites living east of the Jordan in Amorite country in Gilead.
10:9 The Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight with Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim.
Israel suffered greatly.
10:10 The Israelites cried out for help to the Lord: “We have sinned against you. We abandoned our God and worshiped the Baals.”
