Vers. 6. And the children of Israel wrought wickedness again in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim and Ashtoroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the Lord, and served not him. 7. Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon: 8. Who from that year vexed and oppressed the children of Israel eighteen years, even all the children of Israel that were beyond Jordan in the land of the Amorites which is in Gilead. 9. Moreover, the children of Ammon went over Jordan to fight against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim: so that Israel was sore tormented. 10. Then the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, even because we have forsaken our own God, and have served Baalim.
Vers. 6. And the children of Israel wrought wickednesse againe in the sight of the Lord, and serued Baalim and Ashtoroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistims, and forsooke the Lord, and serued not him. 7. Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistims, and into the hands of the children of Ammon: 8. Who from that yeere vexed and oppressed the children of Israel eighteene yeeres, euen all the children of Israel that were beyond Iorden in the land of the Ammorites which is in Gilead. 9. Moreouer, the children of Ammon went ouer Iorden to fight against Iudah, and against Beniamin, and against the house of Ephraim: so that Israel was sore tormented. 10. Then the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord, saying, Wee haue sinned against thee, euen because wee haue forsaken our owne God, and haue serued Baalim.
Now followeth a new revolt of the people of Israel, and this is handled 1to the 17. verse, wherein the things to be considered are these: to wit, a double repairing and returning by them to God, when he afflicted them by their enemies for their sin in forsaking him. In their first seeking to him, they had the repulse, for their repentance was not sound. In the second, God delivered them, they seeking to him in repentance. In the former note these four things: First their sin, which was a joining to the nations among whom they dwelt, and this in the sixth verse. The second is Gods punishing them even by those, whom they joined with in Idolatry: which is showed in the next three verses. The third point is their crying to God: and lastly, the fruit thereof, in the tenth verse, and so forward. The fruit was divers: for first God denied to deliver them, to the fifteenth verse. But at the second crying of the people to God, he delivered them: which is set down in the next two verses unto the seventeenth. Now let these things be looked into more particularly. To return therefore to the sixth verse,
