Judges 10:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 10:10

8 From that year they¹ harassed and oppressed the children of Israel for eighteen years—all the children of Israel who were on the other side of the Jordan in the ^aland of the Amorites, in Gilead.

9 Moreover the people of Ammon crossed over the Jordan to fight against Judah also, against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was severely distressed.

10 ^aAnd the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, saying, “We have ^bsinned against You, because we have both forsaken our God and served the Baals!”

11 So the Lord said to the children of Israel, “Did I not deliver you ^afrom the Egyptians and ^bfrom the Amorites and ^cfrom the people of Ammon and ^dfrom the Philistines?

12 Also ^athe Sidonians ^band Amalekites and Maonites ^coppressed you; and you cried out to Me, and I delivered you from their hand.

13 ^aYet you have forsaken Me and served other gods. Therefore I will deliver you no more.

14 “Go and ^acry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in your time of distress.”

15 And the children of Israel said to the Lord, “We have sinned! ^aDo to us whatever seems best to You; only deliver us this day, we pray.”

16 ^aSo they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord. And ^bHis soul could no longer endure the misery of Israel.

17 Then the people of Ammon gathered together and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled together and encamped in ^aMizpah.

18 And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said to one another, “Who is the man who will begin the fight against the people of Ammon? He shall ^abe head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
