Judges 10:17 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Judges 10:17

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.”

Judges 10:17-18

the children of Ammon were gathered together—From carrying on guerrilla warfare, the Ammonites proceeded to a continued campaign. Their settled aim was to wrest the whole of the trans-jordanic territory from its actual occupiers. In this great crisis, a general meeting of the Israelitish tribes was held at Mizpeh. This Mizpeh was in eastern Manasseh (Joshua 11:3).
