Judges 10:6

And served Baalim - They became universal idolaters, adopting every god of the surrounding nations. Baalim and Ashtaroth may signify gods and goddesses in general. These are enumerated:

1.The gods of Syria; Bel and Saturn, or Jupiter and Astarte.

2.Gods of Zidon; Ashtaroth, Astarte or Venus.

3.The gods of Moab; Chemosh.

4.Gods of the children of Ammon; Milcom.

5.Gods of the Philistines; Dagon.

See I Kings 11:33 (note), and I Samuel 5:2 (note). These are called gods because their images and places of worship were multiplied throughout the land.
