9 Moreover the sons of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah and against Benjamin and against the house of Ephraim so that Israel was sore distressed.
10 And the sons of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee because we have forsaken our God and served the Baalim.
11 And the Lord replied unto the sons of Israel, Were you not oppressed by Egypt, by the Amorites, by the sons of Ammon, by the Philistines,
12 by those of Zidon, by Amalek, and by Maon, and ye cried to me and I delivered you out of their hands?
13 Yet ye have forsaken me and served other gods; therefore, I will deliver you no more.
14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your affliction.
15 And the sons of Israel said unto the Lord, We have sinned; do thou unto us whatever seems good unto thee; only deliver us now, we pray thee, this day.
