Judges 10:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ So the Lord became very angry with them. He handed them over to the Philistines and the Ammonites. ⁸ That year they broke Israel’s power completely. They treated the Israelites badly for 18 years. The people who did this 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 the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Ephraim. Israel was suffering terribly.
