2 He judged Israel for twenty-three years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
3 After him Jair the Gileadite arose and judged Israel for twenty-two years.
4 He had thirty sons who rode thirty donkeys and owned thirty cities that are in the land of Gilead. They are called Havvoth Jair to this day.
5 Jair died and was buried in Kamon.
6 Again the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. They worshipped the Baals, the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Syria, Sidon, Moab, the Ammonites, and the Philistines. They abandoned the Lord and did not serve Him.
7 The anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites.
8 They brutally oppressed the children of Israel that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the children of Israel beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites in Gilead.
