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}

And he judged{H8199} Israel{H3478} twenty{H6242} and three{H7969} years,{H8141} and died,{H4191} and was buried{H6912} in Shamir.{H8069}

And after{H310} him arose{H6965} Jair,{H2971} the Gileadite;{H1569} and he judged{H8199} Israel{H3478} twenty{H6242} and two{H8147} years.{H8141}

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}

And Jair{H2971} died,{H4191} and was buried{H6912} in Kamon.{H7056}

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{H5647} him not.

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}

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}

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}

And the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} cried{H2199} unto Jehovah,{H3068} saying,{H559} We have sinned{H2398} against thee, even because we have forsaken{H5800} our God,{H430} and have served{H5647} the Baalim.{H1168}

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}

The Sidonians{H6722} also, and the Amalekites,{H6002} and the Maonites,{H4584} did oppress{H3905} you; and ye cried{H6817} unto me, and I saved{H3467} you out of their hand.{H3027}

Yet ye have forsaken{H5800} me, and served{H5647} other{H312} gods:{H430} wherefore I will save{H3467} you no more.{H3254}

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}

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; only deliver{H5337} us, we pray thee, this day.{H3117}

And they put away{H5493} the foreign{H5236} gods{H430} from among{H7130} them, and served{H5647} Jehovah;{H3068} and his soul{H5315} was grieved{H7114} for the misery{H5999} of Israel.{H3478}

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}

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}
