Juges 10:3-5

3 Après lui se leva Jaïr, le Galaadite, qui jugea Israël vingt-deux ans.

4 Il avait trente fils, qui montaient sur trente ânons, et qui possédaient trente villes, qu'on appelle encore aujourd'hui les villes de Jaïr; elles sont au pays de Galaad.

5 Jaïr mourut, et il fut enseveli à Kamon.

Juges 10:3-5 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JUDGES 10

This chapter gives an account of two judges of Israel, in whose days they enjoyed peace, Jud 10:1-5, after which they sinning against God, came into trouble, and were oppressed by their enemies eighteen years, and were also invaded by an army of the Ammonites, Jud 10:6-9, when they cried unto the Lord for deliverance, confessing their sin; but he had first refused to grant them any, though upon their importunity and reformation he had compassion on them, Jud 10:10-16 and the chapter is concluded with the preparation made by both armies for a battle, Jud 10:17,18.
