Judges 10:7-18

7And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he sold him into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon. 8And they oppressed and crushed the children of Israel in that year; eighteen years [they oppressed] all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. 9And the children of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; and Israel was greatly distressed. 10And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our 1God, and also served the Baals. 11And Jehovah said to the children of Israel, Did I not [save you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines? 12The Zidonians also, and Amalek and Maon oppressed you, and ye cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand. 13But ye have forsaken me, and served other 2gods; therefore I will save you no more. 14Go and cry to the 3gods that ye have chosen: let them save you in the time of your trouble. 15And the children of Israel said to Jehovah, We have sinned. Do thou unto us according to all that is good in thy sight; only deliver us, we pray thee, this day. 16And they put away the strange 4gods from among them, and served Jehovah; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel. 17And the children of Ammon were called together and encamped in Gilead; and the children of Israel gathered together and encamped in Mizpeh. 18And the people, the chief men of Gilead, said one to another, Who is the man that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
