1 Civil Strife Mars the Victory The Ephraimites assembled and crossed over to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah,“Why did you go and fight with the Ammonites without asking us to go with you? We will burn your house down right over you!”
2 Jephthah said to them,“My people and I were in a struggle and the Ammonites were oppressing me greatly. I asked for your help, but you did not deliver me from their power.
3 When I saw that you were not going to help, I risked my life and advanced against the Ammonites, and the LORD handed them over to me. Why have you come up to fight with me today?”

1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a brave warrior. His mother was a prostitute, but Gilead was his father.
2 Gilead’s wife also gave him sons. When his wife’s sons grew up, they made Jephthah leave and said to him,“You are not going to inherit any of our father’s wealth, because you are another woman’s son.”
3 So Jephthah left his half-brothers and lived in the land of Tob. Lawless men joined Jephthah’s gang and traveled with him.
4 It was some time after this when the Ammonites fought with Israel.
5 When the Ammonites attacked, the leaders of Gilead asked Jephthah to come back from the land of Tob.
6 They said,“Come, be our commander, so we can fight with the Ammonites.”
7 Jephthah said to the leaders of Gilead,“But you hated me and made me leave my father’s house. Why do you come to me now, when you are in trouble?”
8 The leaders of Gilead said to Jephthah,“That may be true, but now we pledge to you our loyalty. Come with us and fight with the Ammonites. Then you will become the leader of all who live in Gilead.”
9 Jephthah said to the leaders of Gilead,“All right! If you take me back to fight with the Ammonites and the LORD gives them to me, I will be your leader.”
10 The leaders of Gilead said to Jephthah,“The LORD will judge any grievance you have against us, if we do not do as you say.”
11 So Jephthah went with the leaders of Gilead. The people made him their leader and commander. Jephthah repeated the terms of the agreement before the LORD in Mizpah.
