6The Israelites again did evil in the LORD's sight. They worshiped the Baals and the Ashtars, as well as the gods of Syria, Sidon, Moab, the Ammonites, and the Philistines. They abandoned the LORD and did not worship him.6Then the Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD. They worshiped the Baals and the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and the Philistines. They abandoned the LORD and did not worship him.
7The LORD was furious with Israel and turned them over to the Philistines and Ammonites.7So the LORD's anger burned against Israel, and he sold them to the Philistines and the Ammonites.
8They ruthlessly oppressed the Israelites that eighteenth year--that is, all the Israelites living east of the Jordan in Amorite country in Gilead.8They shattered and crushed the Israelites that year, and for eighteen years they did the same to all the Israelites who were on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Amorites in Gilead.
9The Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight with Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim. Israel suffered greatly. 9The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim. Israel was greatly oppressed,
10The Israelites cried out for help to the LORD: "We have sinned against you. We abandoned our God and worshiped the Baals."10so they cried out to the LORD, saying, "We have sinned against you. We have abandoned our God and worshiped the Baals."
11The LORD said to the Israelites, "Did I not deliver you from Egypt, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,11The LORD said to the Israelites, "When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines,
12the Sidonians, Amalek, and Midian when they oppressed you? You cried out for help to me, and I delivered you from their power.12Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed you, and you cried out to me, did I not deliver you from them?
13But since you abandoned me and worshiped other gods, I will not deliver you again.13But you have abandoned me and worshiped other gods. Therefore, I will not deliver you again.
14Go and cry for help to the gods you have chosen! Let them deliver you from trouble!"14Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them deliver you whenever you are oppressed."
15But the Israelites said to the LORD, "We have sinned. You do to us as you see fit, but deliver us today!"15But the Israelites said, "We have sinned. Deal with us as you see fit; only rescue us today!"
16They threw away the foreign gods they owned and worshiped the LORD. Finally the LORD grew tired of seeing Israel suffer so much. 16So they got rid of the foreign gods among them and worshiped the LORD, and he became weary of Israel's misery.
17The Ammonites assembled and camped in Gilead; the Israelites gathered together and camped in Mizpah.17The Ammonites were called together, and they camped in Gilead. So the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.
18The leaders of Gilead said to one another, "Who is willing to lead the charge against the Ammonites? He will become the leader of all who live in Gilead!" 18The rulers of Gilead said to one another, "Which man will begin the fight against the Ammonites? He will be the leader of all the inhabitants of Gilead."
