They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
KJV
And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.

Commentary
And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city,.... Or one tribe of another; as the Ephraimites by the Gileadites, and the tribe of Benjamin by the other tribes; and Shechem by Abimelech,
Jdg 9:45
,
for God did vex them with all adversity; both with foreign enemies and civil wars; and now it is intimated that this would be their case again, should they not keep close to the Lord their God.
