Judges 10:7-9

7The Lord became angry with the Israelites. He put them under the power of the Ammonites and the Philistines.

8That year they attacked the Israelites who lived in the Gilead region, on the east side of the Jordan River. That was the land where the Amorites lived. They were cruel to the Israelites for 18 years.

9Then the Ammonites went across the Jordan River to fight against the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Ephraim. The Israelites were in a lot of trouble.
