chapter 10
1
After
Abimelech there arose a ruler in Israel, Thola son of Phua the uncle of
Abimelech, a man of Issachar, who dwelt in Samir of mount Ephraim:
2 And he judged Israel three and twenty years, and he
died and was buried in Samir.
3 To him succeeded Jair the Galaadite, who judged
Israel for two and twenty years.
4 Having thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and
were princes of thirty cities, which from his name were called Havoth Jair,
that is, the towns of Jair, until this present day in the land of Galaad.
5 And Jair died: and was buried in the place which was
called Camon.
6 But the children of Israel, adding new sins to their
old ones, did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served idols, Baalim and
Astaroth, and the gods of Syria and of Sidon and of Moab and of the children of
Ammon and of the Philistines: and they left the Lord, and did not serve him.
7 And the Lord being angry with them, delivered them
into the hands of the Philistines and of the children of Ammon.
8 And they were afflicted, and grievously oppressed for
eighteen years, all they that dwelt beyond the Jordan in the land of the
Amorrhite, who is in Galaad:
9 Insomuch that the children of Ammon passing over the
Jordan, wasted Juda and Benjamin and Ephraim: and Israel was distressed
exceedingly.
10 And they cried to the Lord, and said: We have sinned
against thee, because we have forsaken the Lord our God, and have served
Baalim.
11 And the Lord said to them: Did not the Egyptians and
the Amorrhites, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines,
12 The Sidonians also and Amalec and Chanaan oppress
you, and you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand?
13 And yet you have forsaken me, and have worshipped
strange gods: therefore I will deliver you no more:
14 Go and call upon the gods which you have chosen: let
them deliver you in the time of distress.
15 And the children of Israel said to the Lord: We have
sinned, do thou unto us whatsoever pleaseth thee: only deliver us this time.
16 And saying these things, they cast away out of their
coasts all the idols of strange gods and served the Lord their God: and he was
touched with their miseries.
17 And the children of Ammon shouting together, pitched
their tents in Galaad: against whom the children of Israel assembled themselves
together and camped in Maspha.
18 And the princes of Galaad said one to another:
Whosoever of us shall first begin to fight against the children of Ammon, he
shall be the leader of the people of Galaad.
