Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he [b]sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon:

Who from that year vexed and oppressed the children of Israel eighteen years, [c]even all the children of Israel that were beyond Jordan, in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.

For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead,(J) the land of the Amorites.
