10:1 And after 310 Abimelech 40 there arose 6965 8799 to defend 3467 8687 Israel 3478 Tola 8439 the son 1121 of Puah 6312, the son 1121 of Dodo 1734, a man 376 of Issachar 3485; and he dwelt 3427 8802 in Shamir 8069 in mount 2022 Ephraim 669.(defend: or, deliver: Heb. save)

10:2 And he judged 8199 8799 Israel 3478 twenty 6242 and three 7969 years 8141, and died 4191 8799, and was buried 6912 8735 in Shamir 8069.

10:3 And after 310 him arose 6965 8799 Jair 2971, a Gileadite 1569, and judged 8199 8799 Israel 3478 twenty 6242 and two 8147 years 8141.

10:4 And he had thirty 7970 sons 1121 that rode 7392 8802 on thirty 7970 ass colts 5895, and they had thirty 7970 cities 5892, which are called 7121 8799 Havothjair 2334 unto this day 3117, which [are] in the land 776 of Gilead 1568.(Havothjair: or, the villages of Jair)

10:5 And Jair 2971 died 4191 8799, and was buried 6912 8735 in Camon 7056.

10:6 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 8800 evil 7451 again 3254 8686 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, and served 5647 8799 Baalim 1168, and Ashtaroth 6252, and the gods 430 of Syria 758, and the gods 430 of Zidon 6721, and the gods 430 of Moab 4124, and the gods 430 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983, and the gods 430 of the Philistines 6430, and forsook 5800 8799 the LORD 3068, and served 5647 8804 not him.

10:7 And the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was hot 2734 8799 against Israel 3478, and he sold 4376 8799 them into the hands 3027 of the Philistines 6430, and into the hands 3027 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983.

10:8 And that year 8141 they vexed 7492 8799 and oppressed 7533 8779 the children 1121 of Israel 3478: eighteen 8083 6240 years 8141, all the children 1121 of Israel 3478 that [were] on the other side 5676 Jordan 3383 in the land 776 of the Amorites 567, which [is] in Gilead 1568.(oppressed: Heb. crushed)

10:9 Moreover the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 passed over 5674 8799 Jordan 3383 to fight 3898 8736 also against Judah 3063, and against Benjamin 1144, and against the house 1004 of Ephraim 669; so that Israel 3478 was sore 3966 distressed 3334 8799.

10:10 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 cried 2199 8799 unto the LORD 3068, saying 559 8800, We have sinned 2398 8804 against thee, both because we have forsaken 5800 8804 our God 430, and also served 5647 8799 Baalim 1168.

10:11 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478, [Did] not [I deliver you] from the Egyptians 4714, and from the Amorites 567, from the children 1121 of Ammon 5983, and from the Philistines 6430?

10:12 The Zidonians 6722 also, and the Amalekites 6002, and the Maonites 4584, did oppress 3905 8804 you; and ye cried 6817 8799 to me, and I delivered 3467 8686 you out of their hand 3027.

10:13 Yet ye have forsaken 5800 8804 me, and served 5647 8799 other 312 gods 430: wherefore I will deliver 3467 8687 you no more 3254 8686.

10:14 Go 3212 8798 and cry 2199 8798 unto the gods 430 which ye have chosen 977 8804; let them 1992 deliver 3467 8686 you in the time 6256 of your tribulation 6869.

10:15 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 said 559 8799 unto the LORD 3068, We have sinned 2398 8804: do 6213 8798 thou unto us whatsoever seemeth 5869 good 2896 unto thee; deliver 5337 8685 us only, we pray thee, this day 3117.(seemeth…: Heb. is good in thine eyes)

10:16 And they put away 5493 8686 the strange 5236 gods 430 from among 7130 them, and served 5647 8799 the LORD 3068: and his soul 5315 was grieved 7114 8799 for the misery 5999 of Israel 3478.(strange…: Heb. gods of strangers)(grieved: Heb. shortened)

10:17 Then the children 1121 of Ammon 5983 were gathered together 6817 8735, and encamped 2583 8799 in Gilead 1568. And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 assembled themselves together 622 8735, and encamped 2583 8799 in Mizpeh 4709.(gathered: Heb. cried)

10:18 And the people 5971 [and] princes 8269 of Gilead 1568 said 559 8799 one 376 to another 7453, What man 376 [is he] that will begin 2490 8686 to fight 3898 8736 against the children 1121 of Ammon 5983? he shall be head 7218 over all the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Gilead 1568.
