And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried out to the Lord because of the Midianites, that the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I brought you up from Egypt and brought you out of the (B)house of [a]bondage; and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and (C)drove them out before you and gave you their land. 10 Also I said to you, “I am the Lord your God; (D)do not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.” But you have not obeyed My (E)voice.’ ”

10 (A)And the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, saying, “We have (B)sinned against You, because we have both forsaken our God and served the Baals!”

11 So the Lord said to the children of Israel, “Did I not deliver you (C)from the Egyptians and (D)from the Amorites and (E)from the people of Ammon and (F)from the Philistines? 12 Also (G)the Sidonians (H)and Amalekites and [a]Maonites (I)oppressed you; and you cried out to Me, and I delivered you from their hand. 13 (J)Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods. Therefore I will deliver you no more. 14 “Go and (K)cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in your time of distress.”

15 And the children of Israel said to the Lord, “We have sinned! (L)Do to us whatever seems best to You; only deliver us this day, we pray.” 16 (M)So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord. And (N)His soul could no longer endure the misery of Israel.

17 Then the people of Ammon gathered together and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled together and encamped in (O)Mizpah. 18 And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said to one another, “Who is the man who will begin the fight against the people of Ammon? He shall (P)be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”

11 The Lord replied, “When the Egyptians,(D) the Amorites,(E) the Ammonites,(F) the Philistines,(G) 12 the Sidonians, the Amalekites(H) and the Maonites[a](I) oppressed you(J) and you cried to me for help, did I not save you from their hands? 13 But you have forsaken(K) me and served other gods,(L) so I will no longer save you. 14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen.

15 But the Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best,(O) but please rescue us now.” 16 Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the Lord.(P) And he could bear Israel’s misery(Q) no longer.(R)

17 When the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.(S) 18 The leaders of the people of Gilead said to each other, “Whoever will take the lead in attacking the Ammonites will be head(T) over all who live in Gilead.”
