Judges

CHAPTER 10

Tola and Jair
10:1-5

1 And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.

2 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.

After Abimelech, Tola, the grandson of Dodo, judged Israel for 23 years.

3 And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.

4 And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.

After him, Jair judged Israel for 22 years.

He had 30 sons that rode on 30 ass colts and had 30 cities.

5 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.

 
The Israelites do evil again in the sight of the Lord, etc.
10:6-18

6 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.

The Israelites did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, Ashtaroth, the gods of Syria, Zidon, Moab, Ammon, and the Philistines.

7And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.

And God's anger was hot against Israel, and he sold them to the Philistines and the Ammonites.

8 And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.

9 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.

They vexed and oppressed the Israelites for 18 years.

10 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.

The Israelites cried unto the LORD, saying,
We have sinned against you, because we have forsaken you and served Baalim.

11And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?

12 The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.

God said to the Israelites,
Didn't I deliver you from the Egyptians, Amorites, Philistines, Zidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites?

13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.

Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods.

I will deliver you no more.

14Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.

Go cry to the gods you have chosen. Let them deliver you in your time of tribulation.

15And 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.

The Israelites said to God,
We have sinned. Do whatever seems good to you. But please deliver us today.

16And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

And they put away their strange gods and served the Lord. God's soul grieved for the misery of Israel.

17 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.

The Ammonites gathered together in Gilead. And the Israelites gathered in Mizpeh.

18 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.

And the people of Gilead said,
Who will fight against the Ammonites?

Whoever will do so will be the head of the inhabitants of Gilead.
