After the death of Abimelech, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.
Upon his arrival, he blew a ram’s horn trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim. Then the Israelites went down with him from the hill country, and he led them.
Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and the Lord raised up a deliverer in order to save the Israelites—Othniel son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb.
