And the men{H376} of Ephraim{H669} were gathered together,{H6817} and passed{H5674} northward;{H6828} and they said{H559} unto Jephthah,{H3316} Wherefore passedst thou over{H5674} to fight{H3898} against the children{H1121} of Ammon,{H5983} and didst not call{H7121} us to go{H3212} with thee? we will burn{H8313} thy house{H1004} upon thee with fire.{H784}

And Jephthah{H3316} said{H559} unto them, I and my people{H5971} were{H1961} at great{H3966} strife{H376} with the children{H1121} of Ammon;{H5983} and when I called{H2199} you, ye saved{H3467} me not out of their hand.{H3027}

And when I saw{H7200} that ye saved{H3467} me not, I put{H7760} my life{H5315} in my hand,{H3709} and passed over{H5674} against the children{H1121} of Ammon,{H5983} and Jehovah{H3068} delivered{H5414} them into my hand:{H3027} wherefore then are ye come up{H5927} unto me this day,{H3117} to fight{H3898} against me?

Then Jephthah{H3316} gathered together{H6908} all the men{H582} of Gilead,{H1568} and fought{H3898} with Ephraim;{H669} and the men{H582} of Gilead{H1568} smote{H5221} Ephraim,{H669} because they said,{H559} Ye are fugitives{H6412} of Ephraim,{H669} ye Gileadites,{H1568} in the midst{H8432} of Ephraim,{H669} [and] in the midst{H8432} of Manasseh.{H4519}

And the Gileadites{H1568} took{H3920} the fords{H4569} of the Jordan{H3383} against the Ephraimites.{H669} And it was so, that, when [any of] the fugitives{H6412} of Ephraim{H669} said,{H559} Let me go over,{H5674} the men{H582} of Gilead{H1568} said{H559} unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite?{H673} If he said,{H559} Nay;

then said{H559} they unto him, Say{H559} now Shibboleth;{H7641} and he said{H559} Sibboleth;{H5451} for he could not frame{H3559} to pronounce{H1696} it right:{H3559} then they laid{H270} hold on him, and slew{H7819} him at the fords{H4569} of the Jordan.{H3383} And there fell{H5307} at that time{H6256} of Ephraim{H669} forty{H705} and two{H8147} thousand.{H505}

And Jephthah{H3316} judged{H8199} Israel{H3478} six{H8337} years.{H8141} Then died{H4191} Jephthah{H3316} the Gileadite,{H1569} and was buried{H6912} in [one of] the cities{H5892} of Gilead.{H1568}

And after{H310} him Ibzan{H78} of Beth-lehem{H1035} judged{H8199} Israel.{H3478}

And he had thirty{H7970} sons;{H1121} and thirty{H7970} daughters{H1323} he sent{H7971} abroad,{H2351} and thirty{H7970} daughters{H1323} he brought{H935} in from abroad{H2351} for his sons.{H1121} And he judged{H8199} Israel{H3478} seven{H7651} years.{H8141}

And Ibzan{H78} died,{H4191} and was buried{H6912} at Beth-lehem.{H1035}

And after{H310} him Elon{H356} the Zebulunite{H2075} judged{H8199} Israel;{H3478} and he judged{H8199} Israel{H3478} ten{H6235} years.{H8141}

And Elon{H356} the Zebulunite{H2075} died,{H4191} and was buried{H6912} in Aijalon{H357} in the land{H776} of Zebulun.{H2074}

And after{H310} him Abdon{H5658} the son{H1121} of Hillel{H1985} the Pirathonite{H6553} judged{H8199} Israel.{H3478}

And he had forty{H705} sons{H1121} and thirty{H7970} sons' sons,{H1121} that rode{H7392} on threescore and ten{H7657} ass colts:{H5895} and he judged{H8199} Israel{H3478} eight{H8083} years.{H8141}

And Abdon{H5658} the son{H1121} of Hillel{H1985} the Pirathonite{H6553} died,{H4191} and was buried{H6912} in Pirathon{H6552} in the land{H776} of Ephraim,{H669} in the hill-country{H2022} of the Amalekites.{H6003}
