Defend - The marginal reading “to deliver,” is far preferable. The word is the same as in Jdg 2:16, Jdg 2:18; Jdg 3:9, Jdg 3:15, Jdg 3:31, etc., and is the technical word applied to the judges. Compare Neh 9:27 (“saviours who saved them,” the King James Version). The term “there arose,” also marks Tola as one of the Judges, properly so called, raised by divine providence. Tola and Puah - Both names of heads of houses in the tribe of Issachar 1Ch 7:1; Gen 46:

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

It signifies a worm, yet, being the name of his ancestor, he was not ashamed of it. Though he was of Issachar, yet, when he was raised up to the government, he came and dwelt in Mount Ephraim, which was more in the heart of the country, that the people might the more conveniently resort to him for judgment.
