Judges 10:6

The gods of Syria - Or "Aram." In the times of the Judges the various tribes of Aramites, or Syrians, were not compacted into one state, nor were they until after the time of Solomon. The national gods of these various Aramean tribes were probably the same; and their worship would be likely to be introduced into the trans-Jordanic tribes. It has been remarked that the Hebrew words for "to divine," "to practice magic," "idolatrous priests," and other like words, are of Syrian origin. The Syriac ritual proved very attractive to king Ahaz II Kings 16:10-12. For the national gods of the Zidonians, Moabites, Ammonites, and Philistines, see I Kings 11:5, I Kings 11:7,I Kings 11:33; I Samuel 5:2-5.
