Judges 10:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ So the Lord became angry with them. He allowed the Philistines and the Ammonites to defeat them. ⁸ In the same year those people destroyed the Israelites who lived east of the Jordan River. This is in the region of Gilead, where the Amorites lived. The Israelites suffered for 18 years. ⁹ The Ammonites then crossed the Jordan River to fight the people of Judah, Benjamin and Ephraim. The Ammonites caused much trouble to the people of Israel.
