Oppression by the Philistines and Ammonites
6 But the children of Israel joining new sins to their old, did evil in the sight of our Lord, & served the idols, Baalim and Astaroth, & the gods of Syria and of Sidon and of Moab and the children of Ammon and of the Philisthiims: and they left our Lord, and did not serve him.📜💬📚
7 Against whom our Lord being wrath, delivered them into the hands of the Philisthiims and of the children of Ammon.📜💬📚
8 And they were afflicted and sore oppressed for eighteen years, all that dwelt beyond Jordan in the Land of the Amorrhite, which is in Galaad:📜💬📚
9 in so much, that the children of Ammon passing over Jordan wasted Judas and Benjamin and Ephraim: and Israel was afflicted exceedingly.📜💬📚
10 And crying to our Lord, they said: We have sinned to thee, because we have forsaken our Lord God & have served Baalim.📜💬📚
11 To whom our Lord spake: Have not the AEgyptians and the Amorrhites, and the children of Ammon and the Philisthiims,📜💬📚
12 the Sidonians also and Amalech and Chanaan oppressed you, & you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hands?📜💬📚
13 And yet you have forsaken me, and have worshipped strange gods: therefore I will not add to deliver you any more:📜💬📚
14 go and invocate the gods which you have chosen: let them deliver you in the time of distress.📜💬📚
15 And the children of Israel said to our Lord: We have sinned, render to us whatsoever pleaseth thee: only now deliver us.📜💬📚
16 In saying which things, they threw away out of their coasts all the idols of strange gods, and served our Lord God: who sorrowed for their miseries.📜💬📚
17 Therefore the children of Ammon crying together pitcht their tents in Galaad: against whom the children of Israel being assembled camped in Maspha.📜💬📚
18 And the Princes of Galaad said every one to their neighbours: Who of us shall first begin to fight against the children of Ammon, shall be the Duke of the people of Galaad.📜💬📚
