    The chapter

    What happens here

    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    The LORD tells Israel to ask its chosen gods for rescue, and then, when those gods are put away, finds Israel's misery unbearable. The chapter offers no explanation for the turn, which is rather the sort of astonishing change of mind that makes a margin worth keeping.

    Tola and Jairvv. 1–5

    After Abimelech, Tola of Issachar rose to save Israel and judged for twenty-three years from Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim. Jair the Gileadite followed for twenty-two years; his thirty sons rode thirty donkeys and possessed thirty towns, a pleasingly tidy arrangement known as Havvoth-jair. Tola was buried in Shamir, and Jair in Kamon.

    The gods chosen, and then discardedvv. 6–18

    Israel again served a crowded collection of gods, and the LORD gave them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites. For eighteen years the oppression fell especially on Israel beyond the Jordan in Gilead, before the Ammonites crossed the Jordan against Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim, leaving Israel in deep distress. Israel confessed its sin and begged for deliverance; the LORD first refused, pointing them towards the gods they had chosen. But Israel put away the foreign gods and served the LORD, and the LORD could no longer bear its misery. The Ammonites then camped in Gilead, Israel gathered at Mizpah, and the rulers of Gilead offered the headship of Gilead to whoever would attack first.

    Berean Standard Bible, public domain. Names the Hebrew and Greek put in the verse link to the person, place or people they name; the address beside each verse is a link to that verse, which is what a reader copies and shares.

    1. Judg 10:1After the time of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, rose up to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.

    2. Judg 10:2Tola judged Israel twenty-three years, and when he died, he was buried in Shamir.

    3. Judg 10:3Tola was followed by Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.

    4. Judg 10:4He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys. And they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth-jair.

    5. Judg 10:5When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon.

    6. Judg 10:6And again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. Thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.

    7. Judg 10:7So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites,

    8. Judg 10:8who that very year harassed and oppressed the Israelites, and they did so for eighteen years to all the Israelites on the other side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites.

    9. Judg 10:9The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, and Israel was in deep distress.

    10. Judg 10:10Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, saying, “We have sinned against You, for we have indeed forsaken our God and served the Baals.”

    11. Judg 10:11The LORD replied, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines,

    12. Judg 10:12Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed you and you cried out to Me, did I not save you from their hands?

    13. Judg 10:13But you have forsaken Me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you.

    14. Judg 10:14Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”

    15. Judg 10:15“We have sinned,” the Israelites said to the LORD. “Deal with us as You see fit; but please deliver us today!”

    16. Judg 10:16So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD, and He could no longer bear the misery of Israel.

    17. Judg 10:17Then the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, and the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.

    18. Judg 10:18And the rulers of Gilead said to one another, “Whoever will launch the attack against the Ammonites will be the head of all who live in Gilead.”

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
