8 They shattered and crushed the Israelites that year, and for 18 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.
9 The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim. Israel was greatly oppressed,
10 so they cried out to the Lord, saying, “We have sinned against You. We have abandoned our God and worshiped the Baals.”
11 The Lord said to the Israelites, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines,
12 Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed you, and you cried out to Me, did I not deliver you from their power?
13 But you have abandoned Me and worshiped other gods. Therefore, I will not deliver you again.
14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them deliver you in the time of your oppression.”
