3-6. Jair Tried to Maintain Worship of God—[Judges 10:6 quoted.] Tola governed Israel twenty-three years, and was succeeded by Jair. This ruler also feared the Lord and endeavored to maintain His worship among the people. In conducting the affairs of the government he was assisted by his sons, who acted as magistrates, and went from place to place to administer justice.{2BC 1005.4}

3-6. Jair prøvede at fastholde Gudstilbedelsen.--[Dommerbogen 10,6 citeret.] Tola herskede i Israel treogtyve år, og blev efterfulgt af Jair. Denne hersker frygtede også Herren og bestræbte sig på at fastholde Hans tilbedelse iblandt folket. Idet han førte regeringens forretninger blev han hjulpet af sine sønner, som arbejdede som magistrater, og tog fra sted til sted for at udøve justits.
