Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, and (A)they served the Baals and the Ashtaroth, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, (B)the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; so (C)they abandoned the Lord and did not serve Him. And the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and He (D)sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the sons of Ammon. And they [a]afflicted and oppressed the sons of Israel [b]that year; for eighteen years they oppressed all the sons of Israel who were beyond the Jordan, [c]in Gilead in the land of the Amorites. And the sons of Ammon crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was in great difficulty.
