Tola y Jair juzgan a Israel

10 Después de Abimelec, se levantó para librar a Israel Tola hijo de Fúa, hijo de Dodo, varón de Isacar, el cual habitaba en Samir en el monte de Efraín. Y juzgó a Israel veintitrés años; y murió, y fue sepultado en Samir.

Tras él se levantó Jair galaadita, el cual juzgó a Israel veintidós años. Este tuvo treinta hijos, que cabalgaban sobre treinta asnos; y tenían treinta ciudades, que se llaman las ciudades de Jair hasta hoy, las cuales están en la tierra de Galaad. Y murió Jair, y fue sepultado en Camón.

Jefté liberta a Israel de los amonitas

Pero los hijos de Israel volvieron a hacer lo malo ante los ojos de Jehová, y sirvieron a los baales y a Astarot, a los dioses de Siria, a los dioses de Sidón, a los dioses de Moab, a los dioses de los hijos de Amón y a los dioses de los filisteos; y dejaron a Jehová, y no le sirvieron. Y se encendió la ira de Jehová contra Israel, y los entregó en mano de los filisteos, y en mano de los hijos de Amón; los cuales oprimieron y quebrantaron a los hijos de Israel en aquel tiempo dieciocho años, a todos los hijos de Israel que estaban al otro lado del Jordán en la tierra del amorreo, que está en Galaad. Y los hijos de Amón pasaron el Jordán para hacer también guerra contra Judá y contra Benjamín y la casa de Efraín, y fue afligido Israel en gran manera.

10 Entonces los hijos de Israel clamaron a Jehová, diciendo: Nosotros hemos pecado contra ti; porque hemos dejado a nuestro Dios, y servido a los baales. 11 Y Jehová respondió a los hijos de Israel: ¿No habéis sido oprimidos de Egipto, de los amorreos, de los amonitas, de los filisteos, 12 de los de Sidón, de Amalec y de Maón, y clamando a mí no os libré de sus manos? 13 Mas vosotros me habéis dejado, y habéis servido a dioses ajenos; por tanto, yo no os libraré más. 14 Andad y clamad a los dioses que os habéis elegido; que os libren ellos en el tiempo de vuestra aflicción. 15 Y los hijos de Israel respondieron a Jehová: Hemos pecado; haz tú con nosotros como bien te parezca; solo te rogamos que nos libres en este día. 16 Y quitaron de entre sí los dioses ajenos, y sirvieron a Jehová; y él fue angustiado a causa de la aflicción de Israel.

17 Entonces se juntaron los hijos de Amón, y acamparon en Galaad; se juntaron asimismo los hijos de Israel, y acamparon en Mizpa. 18 Y los príncipes y el pueblo de Galaad dijeron el uno al otro: ¿Quién comenzará la batalla contra los hijos de Amón? Será caudillo sobre todos los que habitan en Galaad.

Tola

10 After the time of Abimelek,(A) a man of Issachar(B) named Tola son of Puah,(C) the son of Dodo, rose to save(D) Israel. He lived in Shamir,(E) in the hill country of Ephraim. He led[a] Israel twenty-three years; then he died, and was buried in Shamir.

Jair

He was followed by Jair(F) of Gilead, who led Israel twenty-two years. He had thirty sons, who rode thirty donkeys.(G) They controlled thirty towns in Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth Jair.[b](H) When Jair(I) died, he was buried in Kamon.

Jephthah

Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord.(J) They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths,(K) and the gods of Aram,(L) the gods of Sidon,(M) the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites(N) and the gods of the Philistines.(O) And because the Israelites forsook the Lord(P) and no longer served him, he became angry(Q) with them. He sold them(R) into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites, who that year shattered and crushed them. For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead,(S) the land of the Amorites. The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah,(T) Benjamin and Ephraim;(U) Israel was in great distress. 10 Then the Israelites cried(V) out to the Lord, “We have sinned(W) against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals.”(X)

11 The Lord replied, “When the Egyptians,(Y) the Amorites,(Z) the Ammonites,(AA) the Philistines,(AB) 12 the Sidonians, the Amalekites(AC) and the Maonites[c](AD) oppressed you(AE) and you cried to me for help, did I not save you from their hands? 13 But you have forsaken(AF) me and served other gods,(AG) so I will no longer save you. 14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save(AH) you when you are in trouble!(AI)

15 But the Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best,(AJ) but please rescue us now.” 16 Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the Lord.(AK) And he could bear Israel’s misery(AL) no longer.(AM)

17 When the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.(AN) 18 The leaders of the people of Gilead said to each other, “Whoever will take the lead in attacking the Ammonites will be head(AO) over all who live in Gilead.”

Tola and Jair

10 After Abimelech, Tola son of Puah son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, who lived at Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim, rose to deliver Israel. He judged Israel for twenty-three years. Then he died, and was buried at Shamir.

After him came Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel for twenty-two years. He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys; and they had thirty towns, which are in the land of Gilead, and are called Havvoth-jair to this day. Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.

Oppression by the Ammonites

The Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, worshipping the Baals and the Astartes, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines. Thus they abandoned the Lord, and did not worship him. So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the Ammonites, and they crushed and oppressed the Israelites that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah and against Benjamin and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was greatly distressed.

10 So the Israelites cried to the Lord, saying, ‘We have sinned against you, because we have abandoned our God and have worshipped the Baals.’ 11 And the Lord said to the Israelites, ‘Did I not deliver you[a] from the Egyptians and from the Amorites, from the Ammonites and from the Philistines? 12 The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand. 13 Yet you have abandoned me and worshipped other gods; therefore I will deliver you no more. 14 Go and cry to the gods whom you have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your distress.’ 15 And the Israelites said to the Lord, ‘We have sinned; do to us whatever seems good to you; but deliver us this day!’ 16 So they put away the foreign gods from among them and worshipped the Lord; and he could no longer bear to see Israel suffer.

17 Then the Ammonites were called to arms, and they encamped in Gilead; and the Israelites came together, and they encamped at Mizpah. 18 The commanders of the people of Gilead said to one another, ‘Who will begin the fight against the Ammonites? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.’
