11Yahweh said to the children of Israel, Didn`t I save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
12The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods: why I will save you no more.
14Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.
15The children of Israel said to Yahweh, We have sinned: do you to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, we pray you, this day.
16They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
17Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.
