Judges 10 :: New English Translation (NET)

Jdg 10:1After Abimelech's death, Tola son of Puah, grandson of Dodo, from the tribe of Issachar, rose up to deliver Israel. He lived in Shamir in the Ephraimite hill country.
Jdg 10:2He led Israel for twenty-three years, then died and was buried in Shamir.
Jdg 10:3Jair the Gileadite rose up after him; he led Israel for twenty-two years.
Jdg 10:4He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys and possessed thirty cities. To this day these towns are called Havvoth Jair - they are in the land of Gilead.
Jdg 10:5Jair died and was buried in Kamon.
Jdg 10:6The Israelites again did evil in the LORD's sight. They worshiped the Baals and the Ashtars, as well as the gods of Syria, Sidon, Moab, the Ammonites, and the Philistines. They abandoned the LORD and did not worship him.
Jdg 10:7The LORD was furious with Israel and turned them over to the Philistines and Ammonites.
Jdg 10:8They ruthlessly oppressed the Israelites that eighteenth year - that is, all the Israelites living east of the Jordan in Amorite country in Gilead.
Jdg 10:9The Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight with Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim. Israel suffered greatly.
Jdg 10:10The Israelites cried out for help to the LORD: "We have sinned against you. We abandoned our God and worshiped the Baals."
Jdg 10:11The LORD said to the Israelites, "Did I not deliver you from Egypt, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,
Jdg 10:12the Sidonians, Amalek, and Midian when they oppressed you? You cried out for help to me, and I delivered you from their power.
Jdg 10:13But since you abandoned me and worshiped other gods, I will not deliver you again.
Jdg 10:14Go and cry for help to the gods you have chosen! Let them deliver you from trouble!"
Jdg 10:15But the Israelites said to the LORD, "We have sinned. You do to us as you see fit, but deliver us today!"
Jdg 10:16They threw away the foreign gods they owned and worshiped the LORD. Finally the LORD grew tired of seeing Israel suffer so much.
Jdg 10:17The Ammonites assembled and camped in Gilead; the Israelites gathered together and camped in Mizpah.
Jdg 10:18The leaders of Gilead said to one another, "Who is willing to lead the charge against the Ammonites? He will become the leader of all who live in Gilead!"
