Judges 10 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Jdg 10:1And after Abimelech Thola the son of Phua rose up to save Israel, being the son of [fn]his father's brother, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Samir in mount Ephraim.
Jdg 10:2And he judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Samir.
Jdg 10:3And after him arose Jair of Galaad, and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
Jdg 10:4And he had thirty-two sons riding on thirty-two colts, and they had thirty-two cities; and they called them Jair's towns until this day in the land of Galaad.
Jdg 10:5And Jair died, and was buried in Rhamnon.
Jdg 10:6And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim, and Astaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Phylistines; and they forsook the Lord, and did not serve him.
Jdg 10:7And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and sold them into the hand of the Phylistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon.
Jdg 10:8And they afflicted and bruised the children of Israel at that time eighteen years, all the children of Israel beyond Jordan in the land of the Amorite in Galaad.
Jdg 10:9And the children of Ammon went over Jordan to fight with Juda, and Benjamin, and with Ephraim; and the children of Israel were greatly afflicted.
Jdg 10:10And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken God, and served Baalim.
Jdg 10:11And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Did I not save you from Egypt and from the Amorite, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Phylistines,
Jdg 10:12and from the Sidonians, and Amalec, and Madiam, who afflicted you? and ye cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand?
Jdg 10:13Yet ye forsook me and served other gods; therefore I will not save you any more.
Jdg 10:14Go, and cry to the gods whom ye have chosen to yourselves, and let them save you in the time of your affliction.
Jdg 10:15And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We have sinned: do thou to us according to all that is good in thine eyes; only deliver us this day.
Jdg 10:16And they put away the strange gods from the midst of them, and served the Lord only, and his soul was pained for the trouble of Israel.
Jdg 10:17And the children of Ammon went up, and encamped in Galaad; and the children of Israel were gathered together and encamped [fn]on the hill.
Jdg 10:18And the people the princes of Galaad said every man to his neighbour, Who is he that shall begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall even be head over all that dwell in Galaad.
