New International Version

1After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the mountains of Ephraim.

1After the time of Abimelek, a man of Issachar named Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, rose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.

2He judged Israel twenty-three years; and he died and was buried in Shamir.

2He led Israel twenty-three years; then he died, and was buried in Shamir.

3After him arose Jair, a Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years.

3He was followed by Jair of Gilead, who led Israel twenty-two years.

4Now he had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys; they also had thirty towns, which are called “Havoth Jair” to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.

4He had thirty sons, who rode thirty donkeys. They controlled thirty towns in Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth Jair.

5And Jair died and was buried in Camon.

5When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon.

6Then the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the people of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.

6Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD. They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites and the gods of the Philistines. And because the Israelites forsook the LORD and no longer served him,

7So the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the people of Ammon.

7he became angry with them. He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites,

8From that year they harassed and oppressed the children of Israel for eighteen years—all the children of Israel who were on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, in Gilead.

8who that year shattered and crushed them. For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites.

9Moreover the people of Ammon crossed over the Jordan to fight against Judah also, against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was severely distressed.

9The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin and Ephraim; Israel was in great distress.

10And the children of Israel cried out to the LORD, saying, “We have sinned against You, because we have both forsaken our God and served the Baals!”

10Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, "We have sinned against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals."

11So the LORD said to the children of Israel, “Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians and from the Amorites and from the people of Ammon and from the Philistines?

11The LORD replied, "When the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,

12Also the Sidonians and Amalekites and Maonites oppressed you; and you cried out to Me, and I delivered you from their hand.

12the Sidonians, the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you and you cried to me for help, did I not save you from their hands?

13Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods. Therefore I will deliver you no more.

13But you have forsaken me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you.

14“Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in your time of distress.”

14Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you when you are in trouble!"

15And the children of Israel said to the LORD, “We have sinned! Do to us whatever seems best to You; only deliver us this day, we pray.”

15But the Israelites said to the LORD, "We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best, but please rescue us now."

16So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD. And His soul could no longer endure the misery of Israel.

16Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the LORD. And he could bear Israel's misery no longer.

17Then the people of Ammon gathered together and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled together and encamped in Mizpah.

17When the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.

18And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said to one another, “Who is the man who will begin the fight against the people of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”

18The leaders of the people of Gilead said to each other, "Whoever will take the lead in attacking the Ammonites will be head over all who live in Gilead."
