Did he not stryue with Israel and fight against them, 26 All the whyle Israel dwelt in Hesbon and her townes, in Aroer and her townes, and in all the cities that be along by ye coastes of Arnon three hundred yeres? Why did ye not recouer them in all that space? 27 Wherfore I haue not synned agaynst thee, but thou doest me wrong to warre against me: The Lord therfore whiche is a iudge, be iudge this day betweene the children of Israel, and the children of Ammon. 28 Howbeit, the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not vnto the wordes of Iephthah, which he sent him.
