1 Tolá dyeth. 3 Iaír alſo dyeth. 17 The Iſraelites are puniſhed for their ſinnes: 10 They crye vnto God, 16 And he hathe pitie on them.
1.AFter Abimélech there aroſe to de-fend Iſraél, Tolá, the ſonne of Pu-áh, the ſonne of " Dodó, a man of Iſ-fachár which dwelt in Shamír in mount Ephráim.
2.And he " iudged Iſraél thre and twentie yere and dyed, & was buryed in Shamír.
3.¶ And after him aroſe Iaír a Gileadite, & iudged Iſraél two and twentie yere.
4.And he had thirtie ſonnes that a rode on thirty aſſe coltes, & thei had thirty cities, which are called " Hauoth-Iaír vnto this day, and are in the land of Gilead.
5.And Iaír dyed, & was buryed in Kamón.
6.* And the childré of Iſraél wroght wic-kednes againe in the ſight of the Lord, & ſerued Baalím and * Aſhtaróth, and the gods of " Arám, and the gods of Zidón, and the gods of Moáb, and the gods of the children of Ammón, and the gods of the Philiſtims, and forſoke the Lord and ſerued not him.
7.Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled againſt Iſraél. and " he ſolde them into the hands of the Philiſtíms, and into the hands of the children of Ammón:
8.Who from that yere vexed and oppreſ-ſed the children of Iſraél eightene yeres, b euen all the children of Iſraél that were beyonde Iordén, in the land of the Amo-rites, which is in Gileád.
9.Moreouer the children of Ammón went ouer Iordén to fight againſt Iudáh, and a-gainſt Beniamín, and againſt the houſe of Ephráim: ſo ŷ Iſraél was ſore tormented.
10.Then the children of Iſraél c cryed vn-to the Lord, ſaying, We haue ſinned a-gainſt thee, euē becauſe we haue forſaken our owne God, and haue ſerued Baalím.
11.And the Lord d ſaid vnto the children of Iſraél, did not I deliuer you from the E-gyptiās & frō the Amorites, frō the chil-dren of Ammón & from the Philiſtíms?
12.The Zidonians alſo, and the Amaleki-tes, and the Maobites did oppreſſe you, & ye cryed to me and I ſaued you out of their hands.
13.Yet ye * haue forſaken me, and ſerued o-ther gods: wherefore I wil deliuer you nomore.
14.Go, and crye vnto the gods which ye haue choſen. let them ſaue you in the ti-me of your tribulacion.
15.And the children of Iſraél ſaid vnto the Lord, We haue ſinned: do thou vnto vs whatſoeuer pleaſeth thee: onely we pray thee to deliuer vs e this day.
16.Then they put away ŷ ſtrange gods frō among thē & f ſerued ŷ Lord. & his ſou-le was grieued for the miſerie of Iſraél.
17.Then the childré of Ammón gathered thē ſelues together, & pitched in Gileád: and the children of Iſraél aſſembled them ſelues,
18.And the people and princes of Gileád ſaid one to an other, Whoſoeuer wil begin the battel againſt the childré of Ammón, the ſame ſhal be * head ouer all the inhabitants of Gileád.
