Judges 10:10-18

King James Version (KJV)

 ¹⁰And 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.

 ¹¹And 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?

 ¹²The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.

 ¹³Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.

 ¹⁴Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.

 ¹⁵And 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.

 ¹⁶And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

 ¹⁷Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.

 ¹⁸And 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.



Judges 11:4-6

 ⁶And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
