INTRODUCTION TO JUDGES 10
This chapter gives an account of two judges of Israel, in whose days they enjoyed peace, Jdg 10:1, after which they sinning against God, came into trouble, and were oppressed by their enemies eighteen years, and were also invaded by an army of the Ammonites, Jdg 10:6, when they cried unto the Lord for deliverance, confessing their sin; but he had first refused to grant them any, though upon their importunity and reformation he had compassion on them, Jdg 10:10 and the chapter is concluded with the preparation made by both armies for a battle, Jdg 10:17.
