Chapter 10 covers two more judges of [[Israel]]--Tola and Jair. No record of achievement is given for Tola, and very little for Jair. Tola judged [[Israel]] for 23 years and Jair judged for 22 years. Jair had thirty sons, heads of thirty villages, called Havoth-Jair, which means, "the tent villages of Jair." Their riding on ass colts (verse 4) indicated their high social status.

+

Verses 6-18 record the children of [[Israel]] departing again from the [[Lord]]. As a result, [[God]] sold them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites. We see [[Israel]]'s cry of distress unto the [[Lord]], their repentance, and their continual chastening.

+

In chapters 11 and 12 we read of Jephthah, the ninth Judge. He was a man of great valor, but of blemished birth, in that he was the son of a harlot. He was of Mizpeh, in Gilead. The Ammonites, whose power had been broken by Ehud, one of the earlier judges, had again become strong, and were plundering [[Israel]]. [[God]] gave Jephthah a great [[victory]] over the Ammonites and delivered [[Israel]]. The pitiful thing in the story of Jephthah is the sacrifice of his daughter.
