Judges 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.
2 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.

You would think that after continued punishment because of disobedience that Israel would get the message; but it seems that they didn’t, just like many of us today. Neither chastening nor grace seems to move us to do what is right, so we go on in our own sinful ways towards our own destruction.
