Context of Judges 10:5

3After Tola, Jair from Gilead became a judge. He judged Israel for 22 years. 4Jair had 30 sons who rode on 30 donkeys. He also had 30 towns that are still called Havvoth Jair to this day. They are in the region of Gilead. Jair died and was buried in Kamon. 6The people of Israel again did what the Lord considered evil. They began to serve other gods and goddesses—the Baals and the Astartes—and the gods of Aram, Sidon, Moab, Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. They abandoned the Lord and did not serve him. 7The Lord became angry with the people of Israel. So he used the Philistines and Ammonites to defeat them.
