Judges 10:9-10

10:9 The Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight with Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim. 1  Israel suffered greatly. 2 

10:10 The Israelites cried out for help to the Lord: “We have sinned against you. We abandoned our God and worshiped 3  the Baals.”

1 tn Heb “the house of Ephraim.”

2 tn Or “Israel experienced great distress.” Perhaps here the verb has the nuance “hemmed in.”

3 tn Or “served”; or “followed.”
