Judg 9:50 ¶ Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and he camped against Thebez and captured it.
Judg 9:51 But there was a strong tower in the center of the city, and all the men and women with all the leaders of the city fled there and shut themselves in; and they went up on the roof of the tower.
Judg 9:52 So Abimelech came to the tower and fought against it, and approached the entrance of the tower to burn it with fire.
Judg 9:53 But a certain woman threw an upper millstone on Abimelech's head, crushing his skull.
Judg 9:54 Then he called quickly to the young man, his armor bearer, and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, so that it will not be said of me, 'A woman slew him.'" So the young man pierced him through, and he died.
Judg 9:55 When the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, each departed to his home.
Judg 9:57 Also God returned all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads, and the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came upon them.
Judg 10:1 Now after Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel; and he lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
Judg 10:2 He judged Israel twenty-three years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
Judg 10:3 ¶ After him, Jair the Gileadite arose and judged Israel twenty-two years.
Judg 10:4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty cities in the land of Gilead that are called Havvoth-jair to this day.
Judg 10:5 And Jair died and was buried in Kamon.
Judg 10:6 ¶ Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, served the Baals and the Ashtaroth, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.
Judg 10:7 The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the sons of Ammon.
Judg 10:8 They afflicted and crushed the sons of Israel that year; for eighteen years they afflicted all the sons of Israel who were beyond the Jordan in Gilead in the land of the Amorites.
Judg 10:9 The sons of Ammon crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was greatly distressed.
Judg 10:10 ¶ Then the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD, saying, "We have sinned against You, for indeed, we have forsaken our God and served the Baals."
Judg 10:11 The LORD said to the sons of Israel, "Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines?
Judg 10:12 "Also when the Sidonians, the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you, you cried out to Me, and I delivered you from their hands.
Judg 10:14 "Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your distress."
