Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 10:1

Commentary on Judges 10:1-5

(Read 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.
