    6And they said to Jephthah, Come and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.

    7And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did you not hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?

    8And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Therefore we return to you now, that you may go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

    9And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If you bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivers them before me, shall I be your head?

    10And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not do according to your words.

    12And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you to do with me, that you have come against me to fight in my land?

    13And the king of the children of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and to Jordan: now therefore restore those lands peacefully.

    1And the men of Ephraim gathered together, and went northward, and said to Jephthah, Why did you pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house over you with fire.

    2And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were in great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you did not deliver me out of their hands.

    3And when I saw that you did not deliver me, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: why then have you come up to me this day, to fight against me?

    4Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, You Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.

    5And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it happened, that when those Ephraimites who had escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said to him, Are you an Ephraimite? If he said, No;

    6Then they said to him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not pronounce it right. Then they took him, and killed him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time forty-two thousand of the Ephraimites.

    7And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
