This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_10:1 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.
Ver. 1. There arose, to defend Israel.] Heb., To save. He thrust not himself into the office, as Abimelech, that usurper, had done; but was raised up by God, and accordingly qualified.
A man of Issachar.] The men of this tribe are little memorised. Deborah, indeed, celebrateth them in her song, {Jdg_5:15} and David made great account of them, because "they had understanding of the time, to know what Israel ought to do." {1Ch_12:32} This Tola, likely, was such a one, by a specialty.
