| 16 ܘܐܦܪܩܘ ܒ̈ܢܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܘܦܠܚܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܬܬܥܝܩܬ ܢܦܫܗ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ | 16 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel. |
| 17 ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܘܫܪܘ ܒܓܠܥܕ ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܫܪܘ ܒܡܨܦܝܐ | 17 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh. |
| 18 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܥܡܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝ ܓܠܥܕ ܐܢܫ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܐܝܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܠܡܬܟܬܫܘ ܥܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܗܘ ܢܗܘܐ ܪܝܫܐ ܠܟܠ ܝ̈ܬܒܝ ܓܠܥܕ | 18 And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. |
