We've sinned against you

And the Israelites did evil in the LORD's eyes again, and served Baalim and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, Zidon, Moab, the Ammonites and the Philistines. They abandoned the LORD and did not serve him. And the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the Ammonites. And that year they oppressed and crushed the Israelites. For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites on the other side of Jordan, in the land of the Amorites, in Gilead. And the Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah too, and against Benjamin and against the house of Ephraim. So Israel was in terrible distress. And the Israelites cried out to the LORD, saying, We have sinned against you, because we have abandoned our God and served Baalim. And the Lord said to the Israelites, Didn't I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the Ammonites and from the Philistines? And the Zidonians and the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you, and you cried out to me, and I delivered you out of their hand. Yet you have abandoned me and served other gods. So I won't deliver you any more. Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble. And the Israelites said to the Lord, We have sinned. Do to us whatever seems good to you. Only deliver us today, we beg you. And they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord. And he could bear Israel's misery no longer. Then the Ammonites were called out and camped in Gilead. And the Israelites gathered and camped at Mizpeh. And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said to one another, Who is the man who will start the fight against the Ammonites? He will be head over everyone living in Gilead.

And the people of Israel did what was wrong in the eyes of the Lord again, and served the Baals and Ashtaroth and the gods of Aram and the gods of Sidon and the gods of Moab and the gods of the Ammonites and the gods of the Philistines. And they left the Lord and didn't serve him. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the Ammonites. And that year they crushed and pressed the people of Israel — eighteen years, all the people of Israel who were on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, in Gilead. And the Ammonites went over the Jordan too, to fight against Judah and against Benjamin and against the house of Ephraim, so Israel was badly in trouble. And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord: We've sinned against you, because we've left our God and served the Baals. And the Lord said to the people of Israel: Didn't I get you out from the Egyptians and from the Amorites, from the Ammonites and from the Philistines? The Sidonians too and the Amalekites and the Maonites pressed you, and you cried out to me and I got you out of their hand. But you've left me and served other gods. So I won't get you out any more. Go and cry out to the gods you've chosen. Let them get you out in the time of your trouble. And the people of Israel said to the Lord: We've sinned. Do to us whatever seems good to you. Only get us out today, please. And they put away the strange gods from among them and served the Lord. And his soul was grieved for the trouble of Israel. Then the Ammonites gathered and camped in Gilead. And the people of Israel gathered and camped in Mizpah. And the people and leaders of Gilead said to each other: What man will start the fight against the Ammonites? He'll be head over everyone living in Gilead.

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him. And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon. And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed. And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim. And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines? The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand. Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more. Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation. And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel. Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh. And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
