10:1 And after Avi-Melekh there arose to defend Yisrael Tola Ben Puah, Ben Dodo, a man of Yissakhar; and he dwelt in Shamir in har Efrayim.

Ya'ir the eighth judge (22 years)

Servitude under Pelishtim and Ammonites (18 years)
10:6 And Benai Yisrael did evil again in the sight of YHWH (יהוה), and served ba'alim, and Ashtaroth, and the elohi (gods, אלהי) of Syria, and the elohi (gods, אלהי) of Tzidon, and the elohi (gods, אלהי) of Moav, and the elohi (gods, אלהי) of Benai Ammon, and the elohi (gods, אלהי) of the Pelishtim , and forsook YHWH (יהוה), and served not him.
10:7 And the anger of YHWH (יהוה) was hot against Yisrael, and he sold them into the hands of the Pelishtim , and into the hands of Benai Ammon.
10:8 And that year they vexed and oppressed Benai Yisrael: eighteen years, all Benai Yisrael that [were] on the other side Yarden in the eretz the Emorities, which [is] in Gil'adi.
10:9 Moreover Benai Ammon passed over Yarden to fight also against Yehudah (יהודה), and against BenYamin, and against the bayit Efrayim; so that Yisrael was sore distressed.
10:10 And Benai Yisrael cried unto YHWH (יהוה), saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our Elohim (אלהים), and also served ba'alim.
10:11 And YHWH (יהוה) said unto Benai Yisrael, [Did] not [I deliver you] from the Mityrayim, and from the Emorities, from Benai Ammon, and from the Pelishtim ?
10:12 The Tzidonians also, and the Amalek (עמלק), and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to Me, and I delivered you out of their hand.
10:13 Yet ye have forsaken Me, and served other elohi (gods, אלהי): wherefore I will deliver you no more.
10:14 Go and cry unto the elohi (gods, אלהי) which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
10:15 And Benai Yisrael said unto YHWH (יהוה), We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.
10:16 And they put away the strange elohi (gods, אלהי) from among them, and served YHWH (יהוה): and his nefesh was grieved for the misery of Yisrael.
10:17 Then Benai Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gil'adi. And Benai Yisrael assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mitzpeh.
10:18 And the people [and] princes of Gil'adi said one to another, What man [is he] that will begin to fight against Benai Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gil'adi.
