A man of Issachar Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo Rose up to save Israel He lived in Shamir In the hill country of Ephraim Persons / Places / Events 1. TolaA judge of Israel who rose to deliver the nation after the time of Abimelech. His name means "worm" or "scarlet," which can symbolize humility or redemption. 2. Puah Tola's father, mentioned to establish Tola's lineage. The name Puah is also associated with one of the Hebrew midwives in Exodus, indicating a heritage of service. 3. Dodo Tola's grandfather, further establishing his family line. The name Dodo means "beloved" or "uncle." 4. Shamir The place where Tola lived and presumably judged Israel. Located in the hill country of Ephraim, it signifies a place of strength and strategic importance. 5. Ephraim A significant tribe in Israel, known for its central location and influence. The hill country of Ephraim was a place of refuge and leadership. Teaching Points God's Provision of LeadersTola's rise as a judge demonstrates God's continual provision of leaders for His people, even after times of turmoil. We can trust God to raise leaders in our communities and churches. The Importance of Humility Tola's name, meaning "worm" or "scarlet," can remind us of the importance of humility in leadership. True leadership in God's kingdom often involves serving others selflessly. Strategic Positioning Tola's residence in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim, highlights the importance of being strategically positioned for God's purposes. We should seek to be where God can use us most effectively. Legacy and Heritage The mention of Tola's lineage underscores the importance of family heritage and legacy. We should strive to leave a godly legacy for future generations.(1) After Abimelech.--his is merely a note of time. Abimelech is not counted among the judges, though it is not improbable that, evil as was the episode of his rebellions, he may have kept foreign enemies in check. To defend Israel.--Rather, to deliver, as in the margin and elsewhere (Judges 2:16; Judges 2:18; Judges 3:9, &c). There arose.--The phrase implies a less direct call and a less immediate service than that used of other judges (Judges 2:18; Judges 3:9). . . . Verse 1. - Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo. Nothing more is known of Tola than what is here told us, viz., his name, his parentage, his dwelling-place, his office, the length of time which he held it, and the place of his burial. Who were the enemies from whom Tola was raised up to save Israel we are not told. There was probably no great invasion or grievous servitude, but perhaps frequent border wars requiring an able and watchful chief to maintain the independence of Israel. Tola and Puah (otherwise written Puvah) were both names of families in Issachar (Genesis 46:13; Numbers 26:23). Shamir in mount Ephraim, to distinguish it from Shamir in the hill country of Judah (Joshua 15:48). Both are otherwise unknown.Parallel Commentaries ...
