Seeker Overlay ON
*
After Abim '
elech there arose to deliver Israel Tola the son of Pu '
ah ,
son of Dodo ,
a man of Is '
sachar ;
and he lived at Shamir in the hill country of E '
phraim .
*
And he judged Israel twenty-three years .
Then he died ,
and was buried at Shamir .
*
After him arose Ja '
ir the Gileadite ,
who judged Israel twenty-two years .
*
And he had thirty sons who rode on thirty asses ;
and they had thirty cities ,
called Hav '
voth-ja '
ir to this day ,
which are in the land of Gilead .
*
And Ja '
ir died ,
and was buried in Kamon .
*
And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD ,
and served the Ba '
als and the Ash '
taroth ,
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 .
*
And 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 ,
*
and they crushed and oppressed the children of Israel that year .
For eighteen years they oppressed all the people of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites ,
which is in Gilead .
*
And the Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah and against Benjamin and against the house of E '
phraim ;
so that Israel was sorely distressed .
*
And the people of Israel cried to the LORD ,
saying , "
We have sinned against thee ,
because we have forsaken our God and have served the Ba '
als ."
*
And the LORD said to the people of Israel , "
Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians and from the Amorites ,
from the Ammonites and from the Philistines ?
