1And 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.Select Judges 10:1

2And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.Select Judges 10:2

3And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.Select Judges 10:3

5And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.Select Judges 10:5

6And 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.Select Judges 10:6

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.Select Judges 10:7

8And that year they harassed and oppressed the children of Israel eighteen years, all the children of Israel that [were] on the other side of Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which [is] in Gilead.Select Judges 10:8

9Moreover, 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 greatly distressed.Select Judges 10:9

10And the children of Israel cried to the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.Select Judges 10:10

11And the LORD said to 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?Select Judges 10:11

12The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites oppressed you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.Select Judges 10:12

13Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.Select Judges 10:13

14Go and cry to the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.Select Judges 10:14

15And the children of Israel said to the LORD, We have sinned: do thou to us whatever seemeth good to thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.Select Judges 10:15

16And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.Select Judges 10:16

17Then the children of Ammon were assembled, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves, and encamped in Mizpeh.Select Judges 10:17

18And 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.Select Judges 10:18
