Judges 10:10 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 10:10

And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord
In this their distress, seeing nothing but ruin and destruction before their eyes, their land being invaded by such powerful enemies in different quarters; this opened their eyes to a sense of their sins, the cause of it, and brought them to a confession of them:

saying, we have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our
God, and also served Baalim;
had been guilty not only of sins of omission, neglecting the pure of God, but also of sins of commission, even gross idolatry, in serving Baalim, and other gods, before mentioned.

Judges 10:10 In-Context

8 That year they broke Israel's power completely. They treated the people of Israel badly for 18 years. Those people lived east of the Jordan River. They lived in Gilead. That was the land of the Amorites.

9 The Ammonites also went across the Jordan. They crossed over to fight against Judah, Benjamin and the people of Ephraim. Israel was suffering terribly.

10 Then the people of Israel cried out to the Lord. They said, "We have sinned against you. We have deserted our God. We have served the gods that are named after Baal."

11 The LORD replied, "The Egyptians and Amorites beat you down. So did the Ammonites and Philistines.

12 And so did the Amalekites and the people of Sidon and Maon. Each time you cried out to me for help. And I saved you from their power.
