Judges 10 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

Oppression of Philistines and Ammonites

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.

Jdg 10:2

Jdg 10:2Tola judged Israel for twenty-three years; then he died and was buried in Shamir.

Jdg 10:3

After him, Jair the Gileadite arose, and he judged Israel for twenty-two years.

Jdg 10:4

Jdg 10:4He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead that are called Havvoth-jair (towns of Jair) to this day.

Jdg 10:5

Jdg 10:5And Jair died and was buried in Kamon.

Jdg 10:6

Then the Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD; they served the Baals, the Ashtaroth (female deities), the gods of Aram (Syria), the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines. They abandoned the LORD and did not serve Him.

Jdg 10:7

Jdg 10:7So the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites,

Jdg 10:8

Jdg 10:8and they oppressed and crushed Israel that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites who were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.

Jdg 10:9

Jdg 10:9The Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was greatly distressed.

Jdg 10:10

Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD [for help], saying, “We have sinned against You, because we have abandoned (rejected) our God and have served the Baals.”

Jdg 10:11

Jdg 10:11The LORD said to the Israelites, “Did I not rescue you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, and the Philistines?

Jdg 10:12

Jdg 10:12“Also when the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites oppressed and crushed you, you cried out to Me, and I rescued you from their hands.

Jdg 10:13

Jdg 10:13“Yet you have abandoned (rejected) Me and served other gods; therefore I will no longer rescue you.

Jdg 10:14

Jdg 10:14“Go, cry out to the gods you have chosen; let them rescue you in your time of distress.”

Jdg 10:15

Jdg 10:15The Israelites said to the LORD, “We have sinned, do to us whatever seems good to You; only please rescue us this day.”

Jdg 10:16

Jdg 10:16So they removed the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD; and He could bear the misery of Israel no longer.

Jdg 10:17

Then the Ammonites were assembled together and they camped in Gilead. And the sons of Israel assembled and camped at Mizpah.

Jdg 10:18

Jdg 10:18The people, the leaders of Gilead (Israel) said to one another, “Who is the man who will begin to fight against the Ammonites? He shall become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
