Judges 10
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Sixth Judge: Tola
10 After Abimelek, Tola, the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man from Issachar, arose to deliver[a] Israel. He lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim. 2 He judged Israel twenty-three years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
The Seventh Judge: Jair
3 After him Jair from Gilead arose. He judged Israel twenty-two years. 4 He had thirty sons, who rode thirty donkeys, and he also had thirty villages in the land of Gilead. People call them the Villages of Jair to this very day. 5 Jair also died and was buried in Kamon.
Israel Starts Another Cycle of Evil
6 Once again the people of Israel committed evil in the eyes of the Lord. They served the Baals and the Ashtartes,[b] the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the people of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. In this way they forsook the Lord and did not serve him.
7 So the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the Ammonites, 8 who shattered and crushed the people of Israel that year.
For the next eighteen years, the Ammonites oppressed all the people of Israel who were in the territory east of the Jordan, in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. 9 When the Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to wage war against Judah and Benjamin and against the house of Ephraim, Israel suffered great distress.
10 Finally the people of Israel called out to the Lord, “We have sinned against you, for we have forsaken our God and have served the Baals.”
11 At this, the Lord said to the people of Israel, “Did I not deliver you from Egypt, from the Amorites, from the Ammonites, and from the Philistines? 12 When the Sidonians and Amalek and Maon[c] oppressed you, and you called out to me, I delivered you from their hands. 13 It is you who have forsaken me and served other gods. Therefore, I will no longer deliver you. 14 Go and cry out to the gods whom you have chosen! Let them deliver you in the time of your distress!”
15 But the people of Israel said to the Lord, “We have sinned. Do with us whatever seems good in your eyes, but please save us today.” 16 When they removed the foreign gods from their midst and served the Lord, he could no longer refrain from relieving[d] the misery of Israel.
17 Then the Ammonites were called to arms and set up camp in Gilead. The people of Israel also gathered and camped at Mizpah. 18 The army and the officers of Gilead said to each other, “Who is the man who will begin to wage war against the Ammonites? He will become head of all those who live in Gilead.”

- Judges 10:6 Baal was the most worshipped god and Asherah the most worshipped goddess among the Canaanites. Ashtarte may originally have been a different goddess, but at times she seems interchangeable with Asherah. The forms are plural because Baal and Asherah/Ashtarte had many local forms and local shrines.

Judges 10
Jubilee Bible 2000
10 ¶ And after Abimelech there arose to save 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-three years and died and was buried in Shamir.
3 And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called the cities of Jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
5 And Jair died and was buried in Camon.
6 ¶ And the sons of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD and served the Baalim and Ashtaroth and the gods of Syria and the gods of Zidon and the gods of Moab and the gods of the sons of Ammon and the gods of the Philistines and forsook the LORD and did not serve 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 sons of Ammon,
8 who dashed in pieces and crushed the sons of Israel for eighteen years, all the sons of Israel that were on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Amorite, which is in Gilead.
9 Moreover the sons of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah and against Benjamin and against the house of Ephraim so that Israel was sore distressed.
10 ¶ And the sons of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee because we have forsaken our God and served the Baalim.
11 And the LORD replied unto the sons of Israel, Were you not oppressed by Egypt, by the Amorites, by the sons of Ammon, by the Philistines,
12 by those of Zidon, by Amalek, and by Maon, and ye cried to me and I delivered you out of their hands?
13 Yet ye have forsaken me and served other gods; therefore, 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 affliction.
15 And the sons of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned; do thou unto us whatever seems good unto thee; only deliver us now, 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 sons of Ammon were gathered together and encamped in Gilead. And likewise the sons of Israel assembled themselves together and encamped in Mizpeh.
18 And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, Who shall it be that will begin the battle against the sons of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

Tola y Jair jueces de Israel
10 Después de la muerte de Abimelec se levantó, para salvar a Israel, Tola, hijo de Puá, hijo de Dodo, varón de Isacar(A); y habitó en Samir, en la región montañosa de Efraín. 2 Y juzgó a Israel veintitrés años. Y murió y fue sepultado en Samir. 3 Y tras él se levantó Jair galaadita, y juzgó a Israel veintidós años. 4 Este tuvo treinta hijos que cabalgaban en treinta asnos, y tenían treinta ciudades en[a] la tierra de Galaad que se llaman Havot-jair[b](B) hasta hoy. 5 Y murió Jair, y fue sepultado en Camón.
Opresión amonita
6 Los hijos de Israel volvieron a hacer lo malo ante los ojos del Señor, sirvieron a los baales, a Astarot(C), a los dioses de Aram, a los dioses de Sidón, a los dioses de Moab, a los dioses de los hijos de Amón(D) y a los dioses de los filisteos; abandonaron, pues, al Señor(E) y no le sirvieron. 7 Y se encendió la ira del Señor contra Israel, y los entregó en manos de los filisteos(F) y en manos de los hijos de Amón. 8 Y ellos afligieron[c] y quebrantaron a los hijos de Israel ese año; por dieciocho años oprimieron a todos los hijos de Israel que estaban al otro lado del Jordán, en Galaad, en la tierra de los amorreos. 9 Y los hijos de Amón cruzaron el Jordán para pelear también contra Judá, contra Benjamín y contra la casa de Efraín, y se angustió Israel en gran manera.
10 Entonces los hijos de Israel clamaron al Señor, diciendo: Hemos pecado contra ti, porque ciertamente hemos abandonado a nuestro Dios y servido a los baales(G). 11 Y el Señor respondió a los hijos de Israel(H): ¿No os libré yo de los egipcios, de los amorreos, de los hijos de Amón(I) y de los filisteos? 12 Cuando los sidonios, los amalecitas y los maonitas[d] os oprimían(J), clamasteis a mí, y yo os libré de sus manos. 13 Mas vosotros me habéis dejado(K) y habéis servido a otros dioses; por tanto, no os libraré más. 14 Id y clamad a los dioses que habéis escogido; que ellos os libren en el tiempo de vuestra aflicción(L). 15 Y los hijos de Israel respondieron al Señor: Hemos pecado, haz con nosotros como bien te parezca(M); solo te rogamos que nos libres en este día. 16 Y quitaron los dioses extranjeros de en medio de ellos y sirvieron al Señor(N); y Él no pudo soportar más[e] la angustia de Israel(O).
17 Entonces los hijos de Amón se reunieron y acamparon en Galaad. Y los hijos de Israel se juntaron y acamparon en Mizpa(P). 18 Y el pueblo, los jefes de Galaad, se dijeron unos a otros: ¿Quién es el hombre que comenzará la batalla contra los hijos de Amón? El será caudillo de todos los habitantes de Galaad.
