Contextual Overview

10 And the sons of Israel cried to Yahweh, saying, We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baalim. 11 And Yahweh said to the sons of Israel, [Did] not [I save you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines? 12 The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, had oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand. 13 Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods: therefore I will save you no more. 14 Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress. 15 And the sons of Israel said to Yahweh, We have sinned: you do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, we pray you, this day. 16 And they put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel. 17 Then the sons of Ammon had gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the sons of Israel had assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah. 18 And the people, the princes of Gilead, said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the sons of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the children of Israel said unto the Lord, we have sinned,.... By serving other gods particularly; and they seemed to have a true sense of their sin, and their confessions of it to be ingenuous, by what follows:

do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; inflict what punishment he would upon them, as famine or pestilence, they could not but own it would be just and righteous, and what their sins deserved:

deliver us only, we pray thee, this day; out of the hands of men; they chose rather to fall into the hands of God; and however he thought fit to deal with them, they entreated that this once he would save them out of the hands of their enemies.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 10:15. We have sinned — The reprehension of this people was kind, pointed, and solemn; and their repentance deep. And they gave proofs that their repentance was genuine, by putting away all their idols: but they were ever fickle and uncertain.
