Judges 10:11
And the Lord said - By what means these reproofs were conveyed to the Israelites, we know not: it must have been by an angel, a prophet, or some holy man inspired for the occasion.
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.”
