Judges 10 · Grade 3
Real Turning
Read the Story
Tola judged Israel twenty-three years. Jair judged twenty-two years. His thirty sons rode thirty donkeys and had thirty cities.
Israel again did evil. They served the Baals and the gods of Syria, Sidon, Moab, Ammon, and the Philistines. They left Yahweh. So the Philistines and the Ammonites crushed them eighteen years.
Israel cried, We have sinned against you. God reminded them how He saved them before. He told them to cry to the gods they had chosen. Israel said, Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us. They put away the foreign gods and served Yahweh. His soul was grieved for their misery.
