Tola
(Heb. Tola’, , a worm, as in Exo 16:20; Sept. v.r. , etc.; Vulg. Thola), the name of two Hebrews.
1. The first-born of Issachar (Gen 46:13; 1Ch 6:1). B.C. 1856. He had six sons (1Ch 7:2), who became progenitors of families known collectively as the Tolaites (Num 26:23), and these in David’s time mustered 22,600 valiant soldiers (1Ch 7:2).
2. Judge of Israel after Abimelech (Jdg 10:1-2). He is described in that passage as the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar. In the Sept. and Vulg. he is made the son of Abimelech’s uncle, Dodo () being considered an appellative. But Gideon, Abimelech’s father, was a Manassite. Tola judged Israel for twenty-three years (B.C. 1319-1296) at Shamir in Mount Ephraim, where he died and was buried. Josephus does not mention him (Ant. 5, 7,.6); but (as Whiston remarks) inasmuch as the total of the years there agree, his name seems to have fallen out of our copies. SEE JUDGE.

Tola
TOLA.The first of the five minor Judges (Jdg 10:1-2). In Gen 46:13, Num 26:23, 1Ch 7:1 he appears as the son of Issachar; Tola was apparently the name of the leading clan of the tribe. It means a worm, from which came a crimson dye (Exo 16:20, Isa 1:18); and was perhaps an animal name due to totemism. Shamir, his home and birthplace, is unidentified.

Tola
tola (, tola, worm or scarlet stuff):
(1) One of the four sons of Issachar (Gen 46:13; 1Ch 7:1), mentioned among those who journeyed to Egypt with Jacob (Gen 46:8 f), and in the census taken by Moses and Eleazar, as father of the Tolaites (Num 26:23) whose descendants in the reign of David included 22,600 mighty men of valor (1Ch 7:2).
(2) One of the Judges, the son of Puah, a man of Isaachar. He dwelt in the hill country of Ephraim in the village of Shamir, where after judging Israel 23 years he was buried (Jdg 10:1, Jdg 10:2). In the order of succession he is placed between Abimelech and Jair. It is interesting to note that both Tola and Puah are names of colors, and that they occur together both in the case of the judge and in that of the sons of Isaachar. They may therefore be looked upon as popular typical or ancestral names of the Issachar tribe, although current critical theories seek an explanation in a confusion of texts.
