1. And after[H310] Abimelech[H40] there arose[H6965] to save[H3467] Israel[H3478] Tola[H8439] the son[H1121] of Puah[H6312], the son[H1121] of Dodo[H1734], a man[H376] of Issachar[H3485]; and he dwelt[H3427] in Shamir[H8069] in the hill-country[H2022] of Ephraim[H669].
2. And he judged[H8199] Israel[H3478] twenty[H6242] and three[H7969] years[H8141], and died[H4191], and was buried[H6912] in Shamir[H8069].
3. And after[H310] him arose[H6965] Jair[H2971], the Gileadite[H1569]; and he judged[H8199] Israel[H3478] twenty[H6242] and two[H8147] years[H8141].
4. And he had thirty[H7970] sons[H1121] that rode[H7392] on thirty[H7970] ass colts[H5895], and they had thirty[H7970] cities[H5892], which are called[H7121] Havvoth-jair[H2334] unto this day[H3117], which are in the land[H776] of Gilead[H1568].
5. And Jair[H2971] died[H4191], and was buried[H6912] in Kamon[H7056].
6. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] again[H3254] did[H6213] that which was evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of Jehovah[H3068], and served[H5647] the Baalim[H1168], and the Ashtaroth[H6252], and the gods[H430] of Syria[H758], and the gods[H430] of Sidon[H6721], and the gods[H430] of Moab[H4124], and the gods[H430] of the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983], and the gods[H430] of the Philistines[H6430]; and they forsook[H5800] Jehovah[H3068], and served him not[H5647].
7. And the anger[H639] of Jehovah[H3068] was kindled[H2734] against Israel[H3478], and he sold[H4376] them into the hand[H3027] of the Philistines[H6430], and into the hand[H3027] of the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983].
8. And they vexed[H7492] and oppressed[H7533] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] that year[H8141]: eighteen[H8083] years[H8141] oppressed they all the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] that were beyond[H5676] the Jordan[H3383] in the land[H776] of the Amorites[H567], which is in Gilead[H1568].
9. And the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983] passed over[H5674] the Jordan[H3383] to fight[H3898] also against Judah[H3063], and against Benjamin[H1144], and against the house[H1004] of Ephraim[H669]; so that Israel[H3478] was sore[H3966] distressed[H3334].
10. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] cried[H2199] unto Jehovah[H3068], saying[H559], We have sinned[H2398] against thee[H5800], even because we have forsaken our God[H430], and have served[H5647] the Baalim[H1168].
11. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], Did not I save you from the Egyptians[H4714], and from the Amorites[H567], from the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983], and from the Philistines[H6430]?
12. The Sidonians[H6722] also[H6002], and the Amalekites, and the Maonites[H4584], did oppress[H3905] you[H6817]; and ye cried unto me[H3467], and I saved you out of their hand[H3027].
13. Yet ye have forsaken[H5800] me[H5647], and served other[H312] gods[H430]: wherefore I will save[H3467] you no more[H3254].
14. Go[H3212] and cry[H2199] unto the gods[H430] which ye have chosen[H977]; let them[H1992] save[H3467] you in the time[H6256] of your distress[H6869].
15. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] said[H559] unto Jehovah[H3068], We have sinned[H2398]: do[H6213] thou unto us whatsoever seemeth[H5869] good[H2896] unto thee[H5337]; only deliver us[H3117], we pray thee, this day.
16. And they put away[H5493] the foreign[H5236] gods[H430] from among[H7130] them[H5647], and served Jehovah[H3068]; and his soul[H5315] was grieved[H7114] for the misery[H5999] of Israel[H3478].
17. Then the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983] were gathered together[H6817], and encamped[H2583] in Gilead[H1568]. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] assembled themselves together[H622], and encamped[H2583] in Mizpah[H4709].
18. And the people[H5971], the princes[H8269] of Gilead[H1568], said[H559] one[H376] to another[H7453], What man[H376] is he that will begin[H2490] to fight[H3898] against the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983]? he shall be head[H7218] over all the inhabitants[H3427] of Gilead[H1568].
