Judges 3:7

 Quoting: b4its2l8

God decided enough was enough and here we find the first of many, many judgements against the Israelis for their transgressions:

Judges 3:8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.

And when the Israelis repented - God delivered them out of the hands of Chushanrishathaim.

Judges 3:9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them

12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord.
 Quoting: b4its2l8


This time their captivity lasted 10 years longer:

Judges 3:14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
