Judges 10 (WEBP)

[1] After Abimelech, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
[2] He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
[3] After him Jair, the Gileadite, arose. He judged Israel twenty-two years.
[4] He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkey colts. They had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
[5] Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
[6] The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and served the Baals, the Ashtaroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. They abandoned Yahweh, and didn’t serve him.
[7] Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the children of Ammon.
[8] They troubled and oppressed the children of Israel that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
[9] The children of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was very distressed.
[10] The children of Israel cried to Yahweh, saying, “We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals.”
[11] Yahweh said to the children of Israel, “Didn’t I save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
[12] The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
[13] Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
[14] Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen. Let them save you in the time of your distress!”
[15] The children of Israel said to Yahweh, “We have sinned! Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, today.”
[16] They put away the foreign gods from among them and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
[17] Then the children of Ammon were gathered together and encamped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together and encamped in Mizpah.
[18] The people, the princes of Gilead, said to one another, “Who is the man who will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”

Young’s Literal Translation

Judges 10 (YLT)

[1] And there riseth after Abimelech, to save Israel, Tola son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he is dwelling in Shamir, in the hill-country of Ephraim,
[2] and he judgeth Israel twenty and three years, and he dieth, and is buried in Shamir.
[3] And there riseth after him Jair the Gileadite, and he judgeth Israel twenty and two years,
[4] and he hath thirty sons riding on thirty ass-colts, and they have thirty cities, (they call them Havoth-Jair unto this day), which are in the land of Gilead;
[5] and Jair dieth, and is buried in Kamon.
[6] And the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the Bene-Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsake Jehovah, and have not served Him;
[7] and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He selleth them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the Bene-Ammon,
[8] and they crush and oppress the sons of Israel in that year-eighteen years all the sons of Israel who are beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorite, which is in Gilead.
[9] And the Bene-Ammon pass over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, and Israel hath great distress.
[10] And the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, saying, ‘We have sinned against Thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and serve the Baalim.’
[11] And Jehovah saith unto the sons of Israel, ‘Have I not saved you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorite, from the Bene-Ammon, and from the Philistines?
[12] And the Zidonians, and Amalek, and Maon have oppressed you, and ye cry unto Me, and I save you out of their hand;
[13] and ye-ye have forsaken Me, and serve other gods, therefore I add not to save you.
[14] Go and cry unto the gods on which ye have fixed; they-they save you in the time of your adversity.’
[15] And the sons of Israel say unto Jehovah, ‘We have sinned, do Thou to us according to all that is good in Thine eyes; only deliver us, we pray Thee, this day.’
[16] And they turn aside the gods of the stranger out of their midst, and serve Jehovah, and His soul is grieved with the misery of Israel.
[17] And the Bene-Ammon are called together, and encamp in Gilead, and the sons of Israel are gathered together, and encamp in Mizpah.
[18] And the people-heads of Gilead-say one unto another, ‘Who is the man that doth begin to fight against the Bene-Ammon? he is for head to all inhabitants of Gilead.’
