1 And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim. 2 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 ¶ And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years. 4 And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead. 5 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
6 ¶ And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him. 7 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon. 8 And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. 9 Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed.
10 ¶ And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim. 11 And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines? 12 The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand. 13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more. 14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
15 ¶ And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. 16 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel. 17 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh. 18 And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

Toʻlo
1 Abumalekning oʻlimidan soʻng Puvax oʻgʻli Toʻlo Isroil xalqini dushmanlardan ozod qildi. U Issaxor qabilasidan boʻlgan Doʻdoʻning nabirasi boʻlib, Efrayim qirlaridagi Shomir shahrida istiqomat qilardi. 2 U Isroil xalqiga yigirma uch yil davomida hakam boʻlib xizmat qildi. Soʻngra olamdan koʻz yumib, Shomirda dafn qilindi.
Yovir
3 Undan keyin Giladlik Yovir hakam boʻldi. U yigirma ikki yil davomida Isroilga rahnamolik qildi. 4 Uning oʻttizta oʻgʻli bor edi. Ular oʻttizta eshakni minishar va Gilad oʻlkasidagi oʻttizta shaharga egalik qilishardi . Bu shaharlar bugunga qadar Yovir shaharlari deb ataladi. 5 Yovir olamdan oʻtib, Kamonda dafn qilindi.
Yiftox
6 Isroil xalqi yana Egamizning oldida qabihliklar qilib, Baal va Ashtaretning tasvirlariga sigʻinish bilan bir qatorda, Oram, Sidon, Moʻab, Ommon va Filist xalqlarining xudolariga sajda qildi. Egamizdan yuz oʻgirib, Unga sajda qilmay qoʻydi. 7 Bundan nihoyatda gʻazablangan Egamiz Isroil xalqini Filist va Ommon xalqlarining qoʻliga berdi. 8 Oʻsha yili ular Isroil xalqiga zulm qilib, rosa ezdilar. Iordanning sharqida, yaʼni Gilad oʻlkasida istiqomat qilgan Isroil xalqiga ular oʻn sakkiz yil davomida zulmini oʻtkazib keldilar. Ilgarilari bu yerlar Amor xalqiga tegishli edi. 9 Shunisi yetmaganday, Ommon xalqi Yahudo, Benyamin va Efrayim qabilalariga ham hujum qilmoqchi boʻlib, Iordan daryosining narigi qirgʻogʻiga oʻtib olgan edi.
Bundan qattiq tashvishga tushgan 10 Isroil xalqi:
— Biz gunoh qildik! — deya Egamizga faryod qildi. — Biz oʻz Xudoyimizdan yuz oʻgirib, Baalning tasvirlariga sigʻindik.
11 Egamiz esa ularga shunday dedi:
— Men sizlarni Misr, Amor, Ommon va Filist xalqlarining zulmidan qutqardim. 12 Sidonliklarning, Omolek va Moyun xalqlarining jabru zulmidan nolib, Menga yolvorganingizda, sizlarga najot berdim. 13 Shunga qaramay, sizlar Mendan yuz oʻgirib, boshqa xudolarga sigʻindingizlar. Boʻldi, yetar! Endi sizlarni qutqarmayman! 14 Borib, oʻzlaringiz tanlab olgan xudolaringizga iltijo qilinglar. Qiynalganingizda ular sizlarga najot berishsin.
15 — Biz gunoh qildik! Bizga xohlaganingni qil, ammo bugun bizni dushmanlarimizdan qutqargin, — deya oʻtindi Isroil xalqi Egamizdan.
16 Shunday qilib, ular begona xudolarning tasvirlarini yoʻq qilib, Egamizga sajda qildilar. Isroil xalqining chekkan azob–uqubatlarini koʻrgan Egamiz ularga nihoyatda achindi.
17 Ommon xalqi odamlarini jangga safarbar qilib, qarorgohini Gilad oʻlkasida joylashtirdi. Isroil xalqi esa toʻplanib, qarorgohini Mispaxda joylashtirdi. 18 Isroil qabilalarining rahnamolari: “Ommon xalqiga kim birinchi boʻlib hujum qilar ekan?” — deya bir–birlariga qarab olishdi. Soʻng: “Jangni boshqargan odam Giladga hokim boʻladi” degan qarorga kelishdi.
