וַיֹּסִיפוּ ׀ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה וַיַּעַבְדוּ אֶת־הַבְּעָלִים וְאֶת־הָעַשְׁתָּרוֹת וְאֶת־אֱלֹהֵי אֲרָם וְאֶת־אֱלֹהֵי צִידוֹן וְאֵת ׀ אֱלֹהֵי מוֹאָב וְאֵת אֱלֹהֵי בְנֵֽי־עַמּוֹן וְאֵת אֱלֹהֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּעַזְבוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה וְלֹא עֲבָדֽוּהוּ׃
The Bnei Yisroel resumed acting wickedly in Adonoy's eyes. They worshipped the Baals and Ashtaros; the deities of Arom, the deities of Tzidon, the deities of Moav, the deities of the Bnei Ammon, and the deities of the P'lishtim. They abandoned Adonoy, and did not worship him.

Rashi
ויעזבו את ה' ולא עבדוהו. אפילו בשותפות עם אלו:
They abandoned Adonoy, and did not worship Him. Not even concurrently with these.4Otherwise, “and did not worship Him” is redundant. (Beitzah, ibid).
וַיִּֽחַר־אַף יְהֹוָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיִּמְכְּרֵם בְּיַד־פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּבְיַד בְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃
Adonoy was infuriated with Yisroel. He delivered them into the hand of the Pelishtim, and the hand of the Bnei Ammon.

וַֽיִּרְעֲצוּ וַיְרֹֽצְצוּ אֶת־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא שְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה אֶֽת־כׇּל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן בְּאֶרֶץ הָאֱמֹרִי אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּלְעָֽד׃
They smashed and shattered the Bnei Yisroel that year, and for eighteen years, all the Bnei Yisroel that were across the Yardein, in the Emorite territory in Gilod.

Rashi
בשנה ההיא. כשמת יאיר:
That year when Yair died.
אשר בעבר הירדן. ארץ ראובן וגד וחצי המנשה, שהיו שכניהם:
Across the Yardein. The territory of Reuven, Gad, and half of Menasheh; they were neighbors.5Of the Ammonites. See below, ch.11.
וַיַּעַבְרוּ בְנֵֽי־עַמּוֹן אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן לְהִלָּחֵם גַּם־בִּיהוּדָה וּבְבִנְיָמִין וּבְבֵית אֶפְרָיִם וַתֵּצֶר לְיִשְׂרָאֵל מְאֹֽד׃
The Bnei Ammon crossed the Yardein to wage war as well with Yehudah, Binyomin, and the house of Ephraim. Yisroel was in great agony.

וַֽיִּזְעֲקוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְהֹוָה לֵאמֹר חָטָאנוּ לָךְ וְכִי עָזַבְנוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַֽנַּעֲבֹד אֶת־הַבְּעָלִֽים׃ {פ}
The Bnei Yisroel cried out to Adonoy, saying, "We have sinned against you, we have abandoned our God and worshiped the Baals."

את הבעלים וגו'. שבע עבודות זרות נמנו כאן:
The Baals. Seven pagan gods are enumerated here.3Beitzah, 25:b. “The deities of Aram, Tzidon, etc.” does not explain where the Baals and Ashteros were worshiped, but lists deities in addition to them. Hence, the total is seven.
