Oppression
of Philistines and Ammonites |
|
|
 |
| Judges 10:1 |
|
Now after Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah,
the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel; and he lived in Shamir
in the hill country of Ephraim. |
|
|
|
|
| Judges 10:2 |
|
He judged Israel twenty-three years. Then he
died and was buried in Shamir. |
| |
|
|
| Judges 10:3 |
|
After him, Jair the Gileadite arose and judged
Israel twenty-two years. |
| |
|
|
| Judges 10:4 |
|
He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys,
and they had thirty cities in the land of Gilead that are called Havvoth-jair
to this day. |
| |
|
|
| Judges 10:5 |
|
And Jair died and was buried in Kamon. |
| |
|
|
| Judges 10:6 |
|
Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the
sight of the LORD, served the Baals and the Ashtaroth, the gods of Aram, the gods
of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the
Philistines; thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him. |
| |
|
|
| Judges 10:7 |
|
The anger of the LORD burned against Israel,
and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the sons
of Ammon. |
|
|
|
| Judges 10:8 |
|
They afflicted and crushed the sons of Israel
that year; for eighteen years they afflicted all the sons of Israel who were beyond
the Jordan in Gilead in the land of the Amorites. |
|
|
|
| Judges 10:9 |
|
The sons of Ammon crossed the Jordan to fight
also against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was greatly
distressed. |
|
|
|
| Judges 10:10 |
|
Then the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD,
saying, "We have sinned against You, for indeed, we have forsaken our God and
served the Baals." |
|
|
|
| Judges 10:11 |
|
The LORD said to the sons of Israel, " Did I
not deliver you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines? |
|
|
|
| Judges 10:12 |
|
Also when the Sidonians, the Amalekites and
the Maonites oppressed you, you cried out to Me, and I delivered you from their
hands. |
|
|
|
| Judges 10:13 |
|
Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods;
therefore I will no longer deliver you. |
|
|
|
| Judges 10:14 |
|
Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen;
let them deliver you in the time of your distress." |
|
|
|
| Judges 10:15 |
|
The sons of Israel said to the LORD, "We have
sinned, do to us whatever seems good to You; only please deliver us this day." |
|
|
|
| Judges 10:16 |
|
So they put away the foreign gods from among
them and served the LORD; and He could bear the misery of Israel no longer. |
|
|
|
| Judges 10:17 |
|
Then the sons of Ammon were summoned and they
camped in Gilead. And the sons of Israel gathered together and camped in Mizpah. |
|
|
|
| Judges 10:18 |
|
The people, the leaders of Gilead, said to one
another, "Who is the man who will begin to fight against the sons of Ammon? He
shall become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead." |
