Read the actual text of Judges 10
"Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD. They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites and the gods of the Philistines." (Judges 10:6a)
Surprise! Surprise!
God was Mad!
He sold the Israelites into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites.
	This has happened 7 times since the death of Joshua. It looks like the Israelites would learn their lesson. God gives us a clue in Deuteronomy 9:4. "After the Lord your God has driven them out before you, do not say to yourself, "The Lord has brought me here to take possession of this land because of my righteousness." No, it is on account of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is going to drive them out before you."
God is patient, but he punishes evil!
The Israelites cry out again! "...Israel was in great distress. Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord, 'We have sinned against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals.'" (Judges 10:10)
Will God listen again?
