Settings

10 And the people of Israel 1cried out to the LORD, saying, "We have sinned against you, because 2we have forsaken our God and have served the Baals."
11 And the LORD said to the people of Israel, "Did I not save you 3from the Egyptians and 4from the Amorites, 5from the Ammonites and 6from the Philistines?
12 The Sidonians also, and 7the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you, and you cried out to me, and I 8saved you out of their hand.
13 Yet you have 9forsaken me and served other gods; therefore I will save you no more.
14 Go and cry out 10to the gods whom you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."
15 And the people of Israel said to the LORD, "We have sinned; do to us whatever seems good to you. Only please deliver us this day."
16 So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD, and 11he became impatient over the misery of Israel.
17 Then the Ammonites were called to arms, and they encamped in Gilead. And the people of Israel came together, and they encamped at 12Mizpah.
18 And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said one to another, "Who is the man who will begin to fight against the Ammonites? 13He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

Judges 10:10-18 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JUDGES 10

This chapter gives an account of two judges of Israel, in whose days they enjoyed peace, Jud 10:1-5, after which they sinning against God, came into trouble, and were oppressed by their enemies eighteen years, and were also invaded by an army of the Ammonites, Jud 10:6-9, when they cried unto the Lord for deliverance, confessing their sin; but he had first refused to grant them any, though upon their importunity and reformation he had compassion on them, Jud 10:10-16 and the chapter is concluded with the preparation made by both armies for a battle, Jud 10:17,18.
