Judges 10:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 10:9

7 So the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel; and He ^asold them into the hands of the ^bPhilistines and into the hands of the people of ^cAmmon.

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.
