Judges 10:6. Then the children of Israel again brought anarchy in the eyes of the LORD* and served baalim and Ashtarot, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines and forsook the LORD*, and did not serve Him. 7.

Moreover the children of Ammon crossed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah and against Benjamin and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was greatly distressed.
