          DASV: Judges 10    

1 After Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah the son of Dodo,
arose to save Israel. He was from Issachar and he lived
in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
2 He judged Israel twenty-three years, died and was buried
in Shamir.

3 After him arose Jair, the Gileadite, who judged Israel
twenty-two years.
4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys. They ruled
thirty towns in the land of Gilead, that are called Havvoth-jair
[towns of Jair] to this day.
5 Jair died and was buried in Kamon.

6 The Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD,
and served the Baals, and the Ashtareths, and the gods of Aram
[Syria], Sidon, Moab, Ammonites and the Philistines. They
abandoned the LORD, and no longer served him.
7 The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold
them into the hand of the Philistines and the Ammonites.
8 They crushed and oppressed the Israelites that year.
For eighteen years they oppressed the Israelites who lived
beyond the Jordan River in the land of the Amorites in Gilead.
9 The Ammonties crossed over the Jordan River to attack Judah,
Benjamin and the house of Ephraim. So Israel was greatly
distressed.

10 The Israelites cried out to the LORD, "We have sinned
against you. We have abandoned our God and served the Baals."
11 Then the LORD said to the Israelites, "Did I not rescue you
from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites and the
Philistines?
12 The Sidonians, Amalekites and the Maonites also oppressed
you and you cried out to me, and I delivered you from their hand.
13 Yet you have abandoned me and served other gods. So I will
no longer save you.
14 Go and cry to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you
in your time of trouble."
15 But the Israelites confessed to the LORD, "We have sinned.
Do to us whatever seems right to you; only please deliver us
this day."
16 Then they put away the foreign gods among them and served
the LORD. He was grieved and no longer able to stand the
misery of Israel.
17 The Ammonites mustered their troops and camped in Gilead.
So the Israelites assembled themselves and camped at Mizpah.
18 The commanders of Gilead said to each other, "Who is
willing to lead the fight against the Ammonites? He will
be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
