Judges 10
International Standard Version
Tola, Israel’s Sixth Judge
10 A man from the tribe of Issachar, Puah’s son Tola, grandson of Dodo, arose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the mountainous region[a] of Ephraim. 2 He governed Israel for 23 years and then died. He was buried in Shamir.
Jair, Israel’s Seventh Judge
3 After him, Jair the Gileadite arose and governed Israel for 22 years. 4 His 30 sons rode on 30 donkeys, controlling 30 cities in the territory of Gilead named Havvoth-jair[b] to this day. 5 Jair died and was buried in Kamon.
Israel Descends into Apostasy
6 Later on, the Israelis again practiced what the Lord considered to be evil by serving the Baals, the stars, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the descendants of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. In doing so, they ignored[c] the Lord and wouldn’t serve him. 7 In his burning anger against Israel, he sold them into domination by the Philistines and the Ammonites, 8 who trampled and troubled the Israelis during that year—eighteen years for the Israelis who lived east of the Jordan River in Gilead, the land occupied by[d] the Amorites. 9 The Ammonites crossed the Jordan River to fight against the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim. As a result, Israel was deeply distressed. 10 Then the Israelis cried out to the Lord and told him,[e] “We have sinned against you because we have abandoned our God to serve the Baals.”
11 The Lord replied to the Israelis, “Aren’t you away from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, and the Philistines? 12 And when the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites harassed you, you cried out to me, and I delivered you from under their domination. 13 But you have abandoned me and served other gods. Therefore I will no longer be delivering you. 14 Go and cry out to the gods that you have chosen for yourselves. Let them deliver you in your time of trouble.”
15 The Israelis replied to the Lord, “We have sinned, so do to us anything that’s right to do in your opinion, just please deliver us right now.” 16 When they put away their foreign gods and served the Lord, he brought Israel’s misery to an end. 17 The Ammonites were summoned and they encamped in Gilead. The Israelis assembled together and encamped in Mizpah. 18 The people and Gilead’s officials inquired among themselves, “Who will begin our attack against the Ammonites? He’ll become head over everyone who lives in Gilead.”

Judges 10
King James Version
10 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.
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.
5 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
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.
7 And 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.
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.
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.
11 And 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.
13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.
14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
15 And 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.
16 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the Lord: and his soul was 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.
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.
Съдии 10
Библия, синодално издание
10 След Авимелеха издигна се да избави Израиля Тола, син на Туя, син Додов, от Исахарово коляно. Той живееше в Шамир, на Ефремова планина.
2 Той беше съдия над Израиля двайсет и три години, и умря, и биде погребан в Шамир.
3 (A)След него се издигна Иаир от Галаад, който беше съдия над Израиля двайсет и две години.
4 (B)Той имаше трийсет (и два) сина, които яздеха на трийсет (и две) ослета, и те имаха трийсет (и два) града, които и доднес се наричат Иаирови селища, що са в Галаадската земя.
5 И умря Иаир и биде погребан в Камон.
6 (C)Израилевите синове продължаваха да правят зло пред очите на Господа и служеха на разни Вааловци и Астарти, и на боговете арамейски, и на боговете сидонски, и на боговете моавски, и на боговете амонитски, и на боговете филистимски, а Господа оставиха и Му не служеха.
7 (D)И разпали се гневът на Господа против Израиля, и Той ги предаде в ръцете на филистимци и в ръцете на амонитци;
8 оттогава те притесняваха и мъчеха Израилевите синове осемнайсет години наред, всички Израилеви синове отвъд Иордан в Аморейската земя, която е в Галаад.
9 Най-сетне амонитци преминаха Иордан, за да воюват с Иуда и Вениамина и с дома Ефремов. И синовете Израилеви бидоха много притеснени.
10 (E)И викнаха синовете Израилеви към Господа и казаха: съгрешихме пред Тебе, защото оставихме нашия Бог и служихме на Вааловци.
11 И Господ рече на Израилевите синове: не угнетяваха ли ви египтяни и аморейци, амонитци и филистимци,
12 сидонци, амаликитци и моавци, и когато викнехте към Мене, не избавях ли ви от ръцете им?
13 (F)а вие Ме оставихте и почнахте да служите на други богове; затова няма вече да ви избавям;
14 идете, викайте към боговете, които сте избрали, нека те ви избавят в това усилно за вас време.
15 Тогава синовете Израилеви рекоха Господу: съгрешихме; прави с нас всичко, що Ти е угодно, само ни избави сега.
16 (G)И отхвърлиха от себе си чуждите богове и почнаха да служат (само) на Господа. И не изтърпя душата Му страданията Израилеви.
17 (H)Амонитци се събраха и разположиха стан в Галаад; събраха се тъй също Израилевите синове и разположиха стан в Масифа.
18 (I)Народът и началниците Галаадски си казаха един другиму: който почне война против амонитци, той ще бъде началник на всички галаадски жители.
