Berean Study BibleInternational Standard Version
1After the time of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, rose up to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.1A man from the tribe of Issachar, Puah's son Tola, grandson of Dodo, arose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the mountainous region of Ephraim.
2Tola judged Israel twenty-three years, and when he died, he was buried in Shamir.2He governed Israel for 23 years and then died. He was buried in Shamir.
3Tola was followed by Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.3After him, Jair the Gileadite arose and governed Israel for 22 years.
4He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys. And they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth-jair.4His 30 sons rode on 30 donkeys, controlling 30 cities in the territory of Gilead named Havvoth-jair to this day.
5When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon.5Jair died and was buried in Kamon.
6And again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. Thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.6Later on, the Israelis again practiced what the LORD considered to be evil by serving the Baals, the stars, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the descendants of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. In doing so, they ignored the LORD and wouldn't serve him.
7So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites,7In his burning anger against Israel, he sold them into domination by the Philistines and the Ammonites,
8who that very year harassed and oppressed the Israelites, and did so for eighteen years to all the Israelites on the other side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites.8who trampled and troubled the Israelis during that year—eighteen years for the Israelis who lived east of the Jordan River in Gilead, the land occupied by the Amorites.
9The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, and Israel was in deep distress.9The Ammonites crossed the Jordan River to fight against the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim. As a result, Israel was deeply distressed.
10Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, saying, “We have sinned against You, for we have indeed forsaken our God and served the Baals.”10Then the Israelis cried out to the LORD and told him, "We have sinned against you because we have abandoned our God to serve the Baals."
11The LORD replied, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines,11The LORD replied to the Israelis, "Aren't you away from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, and the Philistines?
12Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed you and you cried out to Me, did I not save you from their hands?12And when the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites harassed you, you cried out to me, and I delivered you from under their domination.
13But you have forsaken Me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you.13But you have abandoned me and served other gods. Therefore I will no longer be delivering you.
14Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”14Go and cry out to the gods that you have chosen for yourselves. Let them deliver you in your time of trouble."
15“We have sinned,” the Israelites said to the LORD. “Deal with us as You see fit; but please deliver us today!”15The Israelis replied to the LORD, "We have sinned, so do to us anything that's right to do in your opinion, just please deliver us right now."
16So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD, and He could no longer bear the misery of Israel.16When they put away their foreign gods and served the LORD, he brought Israel's misery to an end.
17Then the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, and the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.17The Ammonites were summoned and they encamped in Gilead. The Israelis assembled together and encamped in Mizpah.
18And the rulers of Gilead said to one another, “Whoever will launch the attack against the Ammonites will be the head of all who live in Gilead.”18The people and Gilead's officials inquired among themselves, "Who will begin our attack against the Ammonites? He'll become head over everyone who lives in Gilead."
