Judges 10:1-11:28

[1] And 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.  [2] And he judged  Israel  twenty  and three  years,  and died,  and was buried  in Shamir.  [3] And after  him arose  Jair,  a Gileadite,  and judged  Israel  twenty  and two  years.  [4] And he had thirty  sons  that rode  on thirty  ass colts,  and they had thirty  which are called  Havothjair  unto this day,  which are in the land  of Gilead.  [5] And Jair  died,  and was buried  in Camon.  [6] And 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  [7] And 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.  [8] And 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.  [9] Moreover 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.  [10] And 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.  [11] And 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?
