*
And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah Puw #
ah #,
the son of Dodo ,
a man of Issachar ;
and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim .
*
And he judged Israel twenty and three years ,
and died ,
and was buried in Shamir .
*
And after him arose Jair Ya #
iyr #,
a Gileadite Gil #
adiy #,
and judged Israel twenty and two years .
*
And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts ,
and they had thirty cities ,
which are called Havothjair Chavvowthunto this day ,
which are in the land of Gilead Gil #
ad #.
*
And Jair died ,
and was buried in Camon .
*
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD ,
and served Baalim Ba #
al #,
and Ashtaroth ,
and the gods of Syria ,
and the gods of Zidon ,
and the gods of Moab Mow #
ab #,
and the gods of the children of Ammon ,
and the gods of the Philistines ,
and forsook the LORD ,
and served not him .
*
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel Yisra #
el #,
and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines ,
and into the hands of the children of Ammon .
*
And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel Yisra #
el #:
eighteen sh @
moneh #
years ,
all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites ,
which is in Gilead Gil #
ad #.
*
Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah ,
and against Benjamin ,
and against the house of Ephraim ;
so that Israel was sore distressed .
*
And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD ,
saying ,
We have sinned against thee ,
both because we have forsaken our God ,
and also served Baalim Ba #
al #.
*
And the LORD said unto the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians ,
and from the Amorites ,
from the children of Ammon ,
and from the Philistines ?
*
The Zidonians also ,
and the Amalekites ,
and the Maonites Ma #
own #,
did oppress you ;
and ye cried to me ,
and I delivered you out of their hand .
*
Yet ye have forsaken me ,
and served other gods :
wherefore I will deliver you no more .
*
Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen ;
let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation .
*
And the children of Israel said unto the LORD ,
We have sinned :
do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee ;
deliver us only ,
we pray thee ,
this day .
*
And they put away the strange gods from among them ,
and served the LORD :
and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
Then the children of Ammon were gathered together ,
and encamped in Gilead Gil #
ad #.
And the children of Israel assembled themselves together ,
and encamped in Mizpeh .
*
And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another ,
What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon ?
he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead Gil #
