And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
The Ammonite war against Israel broke out after eighteen years of Ammonite oppression. The suffering of those years brought Israel to put away foreign gods, return to serving the Lord, and cry to Him for help. He heard their prayers and raised up Jephthah the Gileadite, who defeated the Ammonites and broke their power.
