10:1 After
Abimelech
there
arose
to
save
Israel
Tola
the
son
of
Puah,
son
of
Dodo,
a
man
of
Issachar,
and
he
lived
at
Shamir
in
the
hill
country
of
Ephraim.
10:2 And
he
judged
Israel
twenty-three
years.
Then
he
died
and
was
buried
at
Shamir.
10:3 After
him
arose
Jair
the
Gileadite,
who
judged
Israel
twenty-two
years.
10:4 And
he
had
thirty
sons
who
rode
on
thirty
donkeys,
and
they
had
thirty
cities,
called
Havvoth-jair
to
this
day,
which
are
in
the
land
of
Gilead.
10:5 And
Jair
died
and
was
buried
in
Kamon.
10:6 The
people
of
Israel
again
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD
and
served
the
Baals
and
the
Ashtaroth,
the
gods
of
Syria,
the
gods
of
Sidon,
the
gods
of
Moab,
the
gods
of
the
Ammonites,
and
the
gods
of
the
Philistines.
And
they
forsook
the
LORD
and
did
not
serve
him.
10:7 So
the
anger
of
the
LORD
was
kindled
against
Israel,
and
he
sold
them
into
the
hand
of
the
Philistines
and
into
the
hand
of
the
Ammonites,
10:8 and
they
crushed
and
oppressed
the
people
of
Israel
that
year.
For
eighteen
years
they
oppressed
all
the
people
of
Israel
who
were
beyond
the
Jordan
in
the
land
of
the
Amorites,
which
is
in
Gilead.
10:9 And
the
Ammonites
crossed
the
Jordan
to
fight
also
against
Judah
and
against
Benjamin
and
against
the
house
of
Ephraim,
so
that
Israel
was
severely
distressed.
10:10 And
the
people
of
Israel
cried
out
to
the
LORD,
saying,
"We
have
sinned
against
you,
because
we
have
forsaken
our
God
and
have
served
the
Baals."
10:11 And
the
LORD
said
to
the
people
of
Israel,
"Did
I
not
save
you
from
the
Egyptians
and
from
the
Amorites,
from
the
Ammonites
and
from
the
Philistines
10:12 The
Sidonians
also,
and
the
Amalekites
and
the
Maonites
oppressed
you,
and
you
cried
out
to
me,
and
I
saved
you
out
of
their
hand.
10:13 Yet
you
have
forsaken
me
and
served
other
gods;
therefore
I
will
save
you
no
more.
10:14 Go
and
cry
out
to
the
gods
whom
you
have
chosen;
let
them
save
you
in
the
time
of
your
distress."
10:15 And
the
people
of
Israel
said
to
the
LORD,
"We
have
sinned;
do
to
us
whatever
seems
good
to
you.
Only
please
deliver
us
this
day."
10:16 So
they
put
away
the
foreign
gods
from
among
them
and
served
the
LORD,
and
he
became
impatient
over
the
misery
of
Israel.
10:17 Then
the
Ammonites
were
called
to
arms,
and
they
encamped
in
Gilead.
And
the
people
of
Israel
came
together,
and
they
encamped
at
Mizpah.
10:18 And
the
people,
the
leaders
of
Gilead,
said
one
to
another,
"Who
is
the
man
who
will
begin
to
fight
against
the
Ammonites
He
shall
be
head
over
all
the
inhabitants
of
Gilead."
