Judges 10:1
After the time of Abimelech, 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.
2 Tola judged Israel twenty-three years, and when he died, he was buried in Shamir.
3 Tola was followed by Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
