10:6 The Israelites again did evil in the Lord’s sight. 1 They worshiped 2 the Baals and the Ashtars, 3 as well as the gods of Syria, Sidon, 4 Moab, the Ammonites, and the Philistines. 5 They abandoned the Lord and did not worship 6 him. 10:7 The Lord was furious with Israel 7 and turned them over to 8 the Philistines and Ammonites. 10:8 They ruthlessly oppressed 9 the Israelites that eighteenth year 10 – 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. 11 Israel suffered greatly. 12
10:10 The Israelites cried out for help to the Lord: “We have sinned against you. We abandoned our God and worshiped 13 the Baals.” 10:11 The Lord said to the Israelites, “Did I not deliver you from Egypt, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines, 10:12 the Sidonians, Amalek, and Midian 14 when they oppressed you? 15 You cried out for help to me, and I delivered you from their power. 16
