Judges 10:9-18

⁹And the children of Ammon went over Jordan to fight with Juda, and Benjamin, and with Ephraim; and the children of Israel were greatly afflicted.

¹⁰And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken God, and served Baalim.

¹¹And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Did I not save you from Egypt and from the Amorite, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Phylistines,

¹²and from the Sidonians, and Amalec, and Madiam, who afflicted you? and ye cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand?

¹³Yet ye forsook me and served other gods; therefore I will not save you any more.

¹⁴Go, and cry to the gods whom ye have chosen to yourselves, and let them save you in the time of your affliction.

¹⁵And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We have sinned: do thou to us according to all that is good in thine eyes; only deliver us this day.

¹⁶And they put away the strange gods from the midst of them, and served the Lord only, and his soul was pained for the trouble of Israel.

¹⁷And the children of Ammon went up, and encamped in Galaad; and the children of Israel were gathered together and encamped on the hill.

¹⁸And the people the princes of Galaad said every man to his neighbour, Who is he that shall begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall even be head over all that dwell in Galaad.
