And the children
of
Israel
did evil again
in the sight of the LORD ,
and
served Baalim,
and
Ashtaroth
, and
the gods
of
Syria
, and
the gods of Zidon
, and the
gods
of
Moab, and the gods of the children
of
Ammon,
and the
gods
of
the
Philistines ,
and
forsook the LORD ,
and served
not him.
And again
the Israelites
did evil in the sight of the LORD .
They
served the
Baals
, the Ashtoreths
, the gods of Aram
, Sidon,
and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites
and Philistines .
Thus
they
forsook the LORD and did
not serve
Him.
And
the anger of the LORD was
hot
against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines ,
and into
the
hands
of
the
children
of
Ammon.
So
the anger of the LORD burned
against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites,
And
that year they
vexed
and oppressed the children
of
Israel:
eighteen years ,
all the children
of
Israel
that
were
on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites ,
which
is
in
Gilead
.
who
that very
year harassed
and oppressed the Israelites,
and
did
so
for
eighteen years to
all the Israelites
on the other side of
the
Jordan in Gilead,
the land of the Amorites.
Moreover
the children
of
Ammon
passed
over
Jordan to fight also
against Judah, and
against
Benjamin, and against
the house of Ephraim ;
so
that
Israel was sore
distressed
.
The Ammonites
also
crossed
the
Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim ,
and
Israel was in
deep
distress
.
And
the children
of
Israel
cried unto
the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee
, both
because
we have forsaken our God ,
and also
served Baalim
.
Then
the Israelites
cried out
to
the LORD, saying, “
We have sinned against You
, for
we have indeed
forsaken our God and served the
Baals
. ”
And
the LORD said
unto
the
children
of
Israel
, Did
not
I
deliver
you
from
the Egyptians, and
from
the
Amorites, from
the
children
of
Ammon
, and
from
the
Philistines ?
The LORD replied
, “When
the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites
, Philistines ,
The
Zidonians
also
, and
the
Amalekites, and the
Maonites ,
did
oppress
you ;
and ye
cried to me, and
I delivered
you out
of
their hand.
Sidonians
, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed
you and you
cried out
to Me, did
I not
save
you from
their hands?
Yet
ye
have forsaken me ,
and served other gods :
wherefore
I will deliver
you
no more
.
But
you
have forsaken Me and served other gods ,
so
I will no longer
save
you
.
Go and cry unto
the gods which
ye
have chosen ;
let them deliver
you in the
time of your
tribulation
.
Go and cry out
to
the gods you
have chosen .
Let them save
you in your
time of trouble
. ”
And
the children
of
Israel
said unto
the LORD ,
We
have
sinned:
do
thou
unto
us whatsoever
seemeth
good
unto
thee
; deliver us only,
we
pray
thee,
this
day.
“We
have
sinned,”
the Israelites
said to
the LORD .
“Deal
with
us as
You
see
fit
; but
please
deliver us today!”
And
they put away the strange
gods from among them ,
and served the LORD :
and his
soul
was
grieved
for
the misery of Israel.
So
they put away the foreign
gods from among them and served the LORD ,
and He
could
no
longer
bear
the misery of Israel.
Then the children
of
Ammon
were gathered
together,
and encamped
in Gilead .
And the children
of
Israel
assembled themselves
together,
and encamped
in
Mizpeh
.
Then the Ammonites
were called
to
arms
and camped
in Gilead ,
and the Israelites
assembled and camped
at
Mizpah
.
And the people
and
princes
of Gilead said one
to another, What
man
is
he
that
will begin
to
fight
against the children
of
Ammon?
he
shall
be head
over
all
the inhabitants
of Gilead.
And the rulers
of Gilead said to one
another, “Whoever
will launch
the
attack
against the Ammonites
will
be the head
of all
who
live
in
Gilead. ”
