Adam Clarke's Commentary
Introduction
Tola judges Israel twenty-three years, Jdg 10:1, Jdg 10:2. Jair is judge twenty-two years, Jdg 10:3-5. After him the Israelites rebel against God, and are delivered into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites eighteen years, Jdg 10:6-9. They humble themselves, and God reproves them, Jdg 10:10-14. They put away their strange gods, and gather together against the Ammonites, Jdg 10:15-17. The chiefs of Gilead inquire concerning a captain to head them against the Ammonites, Jdg 10:18. Verse 1 Tola the son of Puah - As this Tola continued twenty-three years a judge of Israel after the troubles of Abimelech's reign, it is likely that the land had rest, and that the enemies of the Israelites had made no hostile incursions into the land during his presidency and that of Jair; which, together continued forty-five years.Adam Clarke, 1831 · public domain
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 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.
