## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### Stability Restored
[[#Verse 01.]] After Abimelech’s death, Tola son of Puah, grandson of Dodo, from the tribe of Issachar, rose up to deliver Israel. He lived in Shamir in the Ephraimite hill country.Â
[[#Verse 02.]] He led Israel for twenty-three years, then died and was buried in Shamir.
[[#Verse 03.]]Â Jair the Gileadite rose up after him; he led Israel for twenty-two years.Â
[[#Verse 04.]] He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys and possessed thirty cities. To this day these towns are called Havvoth Jair—they are in the land of Gilead.Â
[[#Verse 05.]]Â Jair died and was buried in Kamon.
### The Lord’s Patience Runs Short
[[#Verse 06.]] The Israelites again did evil in the Lord’s sight. They worshiped the Baals and the Ashtoreths, as well as the gods of Syria, Sidon, Moab, the Ammonites, and the Philistines. They abandoned the Lord and did not worship him.Â
[[#Verse 07.]] The Lord was furious with Israel and turned them over to the Philistines and Ammonites.Â
[[#Verse 08.]] They ruthlessly oppressed the Israelites that eighteenth year—that is, all the Israelites living east of the Jordan in Amorite country in Gilead.Â
[[#Verse 09.]] The Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight with Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim. Israel suffered greatly.
[[#Verse 10.]] The Israelites cried out for help to the Lord: “We have sinned against you. We abandoned our God and worshiped the Baals.”Â
[[#Verse 11.]] The Lord said to the Israelites, “Did I not deliver you from Egypt, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,Â
[[#Verse 12.]] the Sidonians, Amalek, and Midian when they oppressed you? You cried out for help to me, and I delivered you from their power.Â
[[#Verse 13.]] But since you abandoned me and worshiped other gods, I will not deliver you again.Â
[[#Verse 14.]] Go and cry for help to the gods you have chosen! Let them deliver you from trouble!”Â
[[#Verse 15.]] But the Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned. You do to us as you see fit, but deliver us today!”
[[#Verse 16.]] They threw away the foreign gods they owned and worshiped the Lord. Finally the Lord grew tired of seeing Israel suffer so much.
### An Outcast Becomes a General
[[#Verse 17.]] The Ammonites assembled and camped in Gilead; the Israelites gathered together and camped in Mizpah.Â
[[#Verse 18.]] The leaders of Gilead said to one another, “Who is willing to lead the charge against the Ammonites? He will become the leader of all who live in Gilead!”
