07:009:053 And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone
upon
Abimelech’s
head, and all to brake his skull.
07:009:054 Then he called hastily unto the young man
his armourbearer,
and
said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men
say
not
of me, A women slew him. And his young man thrust
him
through,
and he died.
07:009:055 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech
was dead, they
departed
every man unto his place.
07:009:056 Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech,
which he did
unto
his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:
07:009:057 And all the evil of the men of Shechem
did God render upon
their
heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham
the son of
Jerubbaal.
07:010:001 And after Abimelech there arose to defend
Israel Tola the son
of
Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt
in
Shamir
in mount Ephraim.
07:010:002 And he judged Israel twenty and three years,
and died, and was
buried
in Shamir.
07:010:003 And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite,
and judged Israel
twenty
and two years.
07:010:004 And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty
ass colts, and they
had
thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto this
day,
which
are in the land of Gilead.
07:010:005 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
07:010:006 And the children of Israel did evil again
in the sight of the
lord,
and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria,
and
the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods
of
the
children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines,
and
forsook
the lord, and served not him.
07:010:007 And the anger of the lord was hot
against Israel, and he sold
them
into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands
of
the
children of Ammon.
07:010:008 And that year they vexed and oppressed
the children of Israel:
eighteen
years, all the children of Israel that were on the
other
side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in
Gilead.
07:010:009 Moreover the children of Ammon passed over
Jordan to fight
also
against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the
house
of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed.
07:010:010 And the children of Israel cried unto the
lord, saying, We
have
sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken
our
God,
and also served Baalim.
07:010:011 And the lord said unto the children
of Israel, Did not I
deliver
you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from
the
children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
