Jephthah Delivers Israel from the Ammonites

6 Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord , served the Baals and the Ashtaroth , the gods of Aram , the gods of Sidon , the gods of Moab , the gods of the sons of Ammon , and the gods of the Philistines ; thus they forsook the Lord and did not serve Him. 7 The anger of the Lord burned against Israel , and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the sons of Ammon . 8 They afflicted and crushed the sons of Israel that year ; for eighteen e years they afflicted all the sons of Israel who were beyond the Jordan in Gilead in the land of the Amorites . 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 .
