Judges 10

Israel commits apostasy by serving foreign gods (Baals, Ashtoreths, and gods of surrounding nations), prompting YHWH to sell them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites for eighteen years.[1] After genuine repentance and putting away their idols, Israel cries out to YHWH, whose compassion is moved and who prepares to deliver them through a leader against the Ammonites.[1][2]
