Jud 10:1-5.
英文原文
Jud 10:1-5.
TOLA JUDGES ISRAEL IN SHAMIR.
1. after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel, Tola--that is, "to save." Deliverance was necessary as well from intestine usurpation as from foreign aggression.
the son of Puah--He was uncle to Abimelech by the father's side, and consequently brother of Gideon; yet the former was of the tribe of Issachar, while the latter was of Manasseh. They were, most probably, uterine brothers.
dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim--As a central place, he made it the seat of government.

3. 睚珥，基列人——這位士師與那東北疆域的征服者、「哈倭特睚珥」（即「睚珥的村莊」）的建立者，並非同一人
（民32:41； 申3:14； 書13:3； 代上2:22）。
英文原文
3. Jair, a Gileadite--This judge was a different person from the conqueror of that northeastern territory, and founder of Havoth-jair, or "Jair's villages"
(Nu 32:41; De 3:14; Jos 13:3; 1Ch 2:22).

4. 他有三十個兒子，騎著三十匹驢駒——這是早期東方風尚的一個特徵；他給三十個兒子各人分一座村莊，是他產業廣大的有力證明。他有三十個兒子，並不足以證明他有一妻以上，更不能證明他同時有多位妻子。本國也有例子，有人先後娶兩位妻子，所生的兒女也有這麼多。
英文原文
4. he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts--This is a characteristic trait of Eastern manners in those early times; and the grant of a village to each of his thirty sons was a striking proof of his extensive possessions. His having thirty sons is no conclusive evidence that he had more than one wife, much less that he had more than one at a time. There are instances, in this country, of men having as many children by two successive wives.

Jud 10:6-9.
Jud 10:6-9.
以色列被非利士人和亞捫人欺壓。

英文原文
Jud 10:6-9.
ISRAEL OPPRESSED BY THE PHILISTINES AND AMMONITES.
6. the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord--This apostasy seems to have exceeded every former one in the grossness and universality of the idolatry practised.

7. 非利士人……和亞捫人——這兩個敵對鄰邦的劫掠入侵，自然分別發生在與他們各自接壤的地帶。但亞捫人懷著征服之心，揮軍越過約旦河，以致迦南的中部與南部各省廣遭蹂躪。
英文原文
7. Philistines, and . . . the children of Ammon--The predatory incursions of these two hostile neighbors were made naturally on the parts of the land respectively contiguous to them. But the Ammonites, animated with the spirit of conquest, carried their arms across the Jordan; so that the central and southern provinces of Canaan were extensively desolated.

Jud 10:10-15.
Jud 10:10-15.
他們向神呼求。
10. 以色列人哀求耶和華說，我們得罪了你——悔改的第一步是認罪；而悔改真誠的最佳憑據，是罪人不僅為自己罪行所招致的痛苦後果而悲哀，更為所得罪神的可憎之惡而痛悔。
英文原文
Jud 10:10-15.
THEY CRY TO GOD.
10. The children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee--The first step of repentance is confession of sin, and the best proof of its sincerity is given by the transgressor, when he mourns not only over the painful consequences which have resulted from his offenses to himself, but over the heinous evil committed against God.

11. 耶和華說……我豈不是從埃及人手中救出你們麼——本節及以下幾節所記的情形，大概不是藉著大祭司傳達的（傳達神的旨意原是大祭司的職責）。
英文原文
11. the Lord said . . . Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians--The circumstances recorded in this and the following verses were not probably made through the high priest, whose duty it was to interpret the will of God.

Jud 10:16-18.
他們悔改，神憐憫他們。
16. 以色列人就除掉他們中間的外邦神……事奉耶和華；耶和華因以色列人受的苦難，就心中擔憂——當他們離棄偶像，歸回純正的敬拜時，神便恩慈地縮短了國家受苦的期限，並恢復了太平的日子。
英文原文
Jud 10:16-18.
THEY REPENT; GOD PITIES THEM.
16. they put away the strange gods . . . and served the Lord; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel--On their abandonment of idolatry and return to purity of worship, God graciously abridged the term of national affliction and restored times of peace.

17, 18. 亞捫人聚集——亞捫人從游擊戰進一步發展為持續性的戰役。他們既定的目標，是要從實際佔領者手中奪取整個約旦河東之地。在這重大危機之際，以色列各支派在米斯巴召開了一次全體大會。這個米斯巴位於瑪拿西以東
(Jos 11:3)。

This Mizpeh was in eastern Manasseh
(Jos 11:3).
Jud 10:1-5.
陀拉在沙密作以色列的士師。
1. 亞比米勒以後，有陀拉起來拯救以色列——即「拯救」之意。當時既需防禦外侮，也需拯救脫離內部的篡權。
普瓦的兒子——他在父系上是亞比米勒的叔父，因此是基甸的兄弟；然而前者屬以薩迦支派，後者屬瑪拿西支派。他們極可能是同母異父的兄弟。
住在以法蓮山地的沙密——他把這居中的地方作為政府所在地。
