King James BibleNew International Version
1And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount 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.
2And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.2He led Israel twenty-three years; then he died, and was buried in Shamir.
3And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.3He was followed by Jair of Gilead, who led Israel twenty-two years.
4And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto 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.
6And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not 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,
7And 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 children of Ammon.7he became angry with them. He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites,
8And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is 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 children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore 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 unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.10Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, "We have sinned against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals."
11And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?11The LORD replied, "When the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,
12The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of 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 ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.13But you have forsaken me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you.
14Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.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 unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.15But the Israelites said to the LORD, "We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best, but please rescue us now."
16And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for 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 children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.17When the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.
18And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children 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."
