* And after Abimelech Thola the son of Phua rose up to save Israel , being the son of (note :)i . e . Abimelech ’s (:note ) his father ’s brother , a man of Issachar ; and he dwelt in Samir in mount Ephraim . * And he judged Israel twenty-three years , and died , and was buried in Samir . * And after him arose Jair of Galaad , and he judged Israel twenty-two years . * And he had thirty-two sons riding on thirty-two colts , and they had thirty-two cities ; and they called them Jair ’s towns until this day in the land of Galaad . * And Jair died , and was buried in Rhamnon . * And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord , and served Baalim , and Astaroth , and the gods of Aram , and the gods of Sidon , and the gods of Moab , and the gods of the children of Ammon , and the gods of the Phylistines ; and they forsook the Lord , and did not serve him . * And the Lord was very angry with Israel , and sold them into the hands of the Phylistines , and into the hand of the children of Ammon . * And they afflicted and bruised the children of Israel at that time eighteen years , all the children of Israel beyond Jordan in the land of the Amorite in Galaad . * And the children of Ammon went over Jordan to fight with Juda , and Benjamin , and with Ephraim ; and the children of Israel were greatly afflicted . * And the children of Israel cried to the Lord , saying , We have sinned against thee , because we have forsaken God , and served Baalim . * And the Lord said to the children of Israel , Did I not save you from Egypt and from the Amorite , and from the children of Ammon , and from the Phylistines , * and from the Sidonians , and Amalec , and Madiam , who afflicted you ? and ye cried to me , and I saved you out of their hand ? * Yet ye forsook me and served other gods ; therefore I will not save you any more . * Go , and cry to the gods whom ye have chosen to yourselves , and let them save you in the time of your affliction . * And the children of Israel said to the Lord , We have sinned : do thou to us according to all that is good in thine eyes ; only deliver us this day . * And they put away the strange gods from the midst of them , and served the Lord only , and his soul was pained for the trouble of Israel . * And the children of Ammon went up , and encamped in Galaad ; and the children of Israel were gathered together and encamped (note :)Or , near the watch-tower ; Hebrews . hpum , name of a town (:note ) on the hill . * And the people the princes of Galaad said every man to his neighbour , Who is he that shall begin to fight against the children of Ammon ? he shall even be head over all that dwell in Galaad .
