The Israelites did evil in the Lord’s sight, so the Lord turned them over to Midian for seven years.

Jephthah approached the Ammonites to fight with them, and the Lord handed them over to him.

The Israelites again did evil in the Lord’s sight, so the Lord handed them over to the Philistines for forty years.

The Lord was furious with Israel and handed them over to robbers who plundered them. He turned them over to their enemies who lived around them. They could not withstand their enemies’ attacks.

When I saw that you were not going to help, I risked my life and advanced against the Ammonites, and the Lord handed them over to me. Why have you come up to fight with me today?”
