The previous mention of the Philistines as oppressors of Israel Jdg 3:31 seems to be restricted to the south of Judah, when they cooperated with Moab. They appear to have gradually increased in power until they reached their height in the time of Saul. In the present instance they were probably in alliance with the Ammonites, holding the western tribes in check, while the Ammonites subdued those on the east of Jordan.
This site's exposition
the anger of the LORD burned against Israel
on Judges 10:7-9
"He sold them," the verb of 2:14, 3:8 and 4:2, and here to two buyers, the Philistines on the west and the Ammonites on the east. Ammon produces Jephthah in chapter 11, and the Philistines hold the forty years of 13:1. The land held down is "Gilead, the land of the Amorites," Sihon's old kingdom in Numbers 21:21-26, and that title is Jephthah's whole argument at 11:19-22.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel,....
Their repentance and humiliation for sin, their prayers and reformation, and the mercy they found with God thereupon,
The Nineteenth Century1 voice
The anger of the Lord was hot - This Divine displeasure was manifested in delivering them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites. The former dwelt on the western side of Jordan; the latter, on the eastern: and it appears that they joined their forces on this occasion to distress and ruin the Israelites, though the Ammonites were the most active.
