101 Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, was next after Abimelech. He rose to the occasion to save Israel. He was a man of Issachar. He lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim. 2 He judged Israel for twenty-three years and then died and was buried at Shamir. 3 After him, Jair the Gileadite stepped into leadership. He judged Israel for twenty-two years. 4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys and had thirty towns in Gilead. The towns are still called Jair's Villages. 5 Jair died and was buried in Kamon.

Commentary on Judges 10:1-5
(Read Judges 10:1-5)
Quiet and peaceable reigns, though the best to live in, yield least variety of matter to be spoken of. Such were the days of Tola and Jair. They were humble, active, and useful men, rulers appointed of God.
