Judges 10

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 defend Iſraél, Tolá, the ſonne of Puáh, the ſonne of Dodó, a man of Iſfachár 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 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 wickednes 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 oppreſſed the children of Iſraél eightene yeres, euen all the children of Iſraél that were beyonde Iordén, in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gileád.
9.Moreouer the children of Ammón went ouer Iordén to fight againſt Iudáh, and againſt Beniamín, and againſt the houſe of Ephráim: ſo ŷ Iſraél was ſore tormented.
10.Then the children of Iſraél cryed vnto the Lord, ſaying, We haue ſinned againſt thee, euē becauſe we haue forſaken our owne God, and haue ſerued Baalím.
11.And the Lord ſaid vnto the children of Iſraél, did not I deliuer you from the Egyptiās & frō the Amorites, frō the children of Ammón & from the Philiſtíms?
12.The Zidonians alſo, and the Amalekites, 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 other gods: wherefore I wil deliuer you nomore.
14.Go, and crye vnto the gods which ye haue choſen. let them ſaue you in the time 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 this day.
16.Then they put away ŷ ſtrange gods frō among thē & ſerued ŷ Lord. & his ſoule 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.
