Tola
10Tola rose up to save Israel. That happened after the time of Abimelech. Tola was from the tribe of Issachar. He was the son of Puah, who was the son of Dodo. Tola lived in Shamir. It’s in the hill country of Ephraim. 2Tola led Israel for 23 years. After he died, his body was buried in Shamir.
Jair
3Jair became the leader after Tola. Jair was from the land of Gilead. He led Israel for 22 years. 4He had 30 sons. They rode on 30 donkeys. They controlled 30 towns in Gilead. Those towns are called Havvoth Jair to this very day. 5After Jair died, his body was buried in Kamon.
Jephthah
6Once again the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. They served the gods that were named after Baal. They served the goddesses that were named after Ashtoreth. They worshiped the gods of Aram and Sidon. They served the gods of Moab and Ammon. They also worshiped the gods of the Philistines. The people of Israel deserted the Lord. They didn’t serve him anymore.
7So the Lord’s anger burned against them. He handed them over to the Philistines and the Ammonites. 8That year they broke Israel’s power completely. They treated the people of Israel badly for 18 years. Those people lived east of the Jordan River. They lived in Gilead. That was the land of the Amorites.
9The Ammonites also went across the Jordan. They crossed over to fight against Judah, Benjamin and the people of Ephraim. Israel was suffering terribly.
10Then the people of Israel cried out to the Lord. They said, “We have sinned against you. We have deserted our God. We have served the gods that are named after Baal.”
11The Lord replied, “The Egyptians and Amorites beat you down. So did the Ammonites and Philistines. 12And so did the Amalekites and the people of Sidon and Maon. Each time you cried out to me for help. And I saved you from their power.
13“But you have deserted me. You have served other gods. So I will not save you anymore. 14Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you when you get into trouble!”
15But the people of Israel replied to the Lord. They said, “We have sinned. Do to us what you think is best. But please save us now.” 16Then they got rid of the strange gods that were among them. They served the Lord. And he couldn’t stand to see Israel suffer anymore.
17The Ammonites were called together to fight. They camped in the land of Gilead. Then the men of Israel gathered together. They camped at the city of Mizpah.
18The leaders of Gilead spoke to each other. They said, “Who will lead the attack against the Ammonites? That man will be the ruler of all of the people who live in Gilead.”
