9 The sons of Ammon crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was greatly distressed.
10 Then the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord, saying, "We have sinned against You, for indeed, we have forsaken our God and served the Baals."
11 The Lord said to the sons of Israel, "Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines?
12 Also when the Sidonians, the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you, you cried out to Me, and I delivered you from their hands.
13 Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods; therefore I will no longer deliver you.
14 Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your distress."
15 The sons of Israel said to the Lord, "We have sinned, do to us whatever seems good to You; only please deliver us this day."
