And the menH376 of EphraimH669 gathered themselves togetherH6817, and wentH5674 northwardH6828, and saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, Wherefore passedst thou overH5674 to fightH3898 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and didst not callH7121 us to goH3212 with thee? we will burnH8313 thine houseH1004 upon thee with fireH784. {gathered…: Heb. were called}
And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto them, I and my peopleH5971 wereH1961 at greatH3966 strifeH376+H7379 with the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983; and when I calledH2199 you, ye deliveredH3467 me not out of their handsH3027.
And when I sawH7200 that ye deliveredH3467 me not, I putH7760 my lifeH5315 in my handsH3709, and passed overH5674 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into my handH3027: wherefore then are ye come upH5927 unto me this dayH3117, to fightH3898 against me?
Then JephthahH3316 gathered togetherH6908 all the menH582 of GileadH1568, and foughtH3898 with EphraimH669: and the menH582 of GileadH1568 smoteH5221 EphraimH669, because they saidH559, Ye GileaditesH1568 are fugitivesH6412 of EphraimH669 amongH8432 the EphraimitesH669, and amongH8432 the ManassitesH4519.
And the GileaditesH1568 tookH3920 the passagesH4569 of JordanH3383 before the EphraimitesH669: and it was so, that when those EphraimitesH669 which were escapedH6412 saidH559, Let me go overH5674; that the menH582 of GileadH1568 saidH559 unto him, Art thou an EphraimiteH673? If he saidH559, Nay;
Then saidH559 they unto him, SayH559 now ShibbolethH7641: and he saidH559 SibbolethH5451: for he could not frameH3559 to pronounceH1696 it rightH3559. Then they tookH270 him, and slewH7819 him at the passagesH4569 of JordanH3383: and there fellH5307 at that timeH6256 of the EphraimitesH669 fortyH705 and twoH8147 thousandH505.
And JephthahH3316 judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 sixH8337 yearsH8141. Then diedH4191 JephthahH3316 the GileaditeH1569, and was buriedH6912 in one of the citiesH5892 of GileadH1568.
And afterH310 him IbzanH78 of BethlehemH1035 judgedH8199 IsraelH3478.
And he had thirtyH7970 sonsH1121, and thirtyH7970 daughtersH1323, whom he sentH7971 abroadH2351, and tookH935 in thirtyH7970 daughtersH1323 from abroadH2351 for his sonsH1121. And he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.
Then diedH4191 IbzanH78, and was buriedH6912 at BethlehemH1035.
And afterH310 him ElonH356, a ZebuloniteH2075, judgedH8199 IsraelH3478; and he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 tenH6235 yearsH8141.
And ElonH356 the ZebuloniteH2075 diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in AijalonH357 in the countryH776 of ZebulunH2074.
And afterH310 him AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of HillelH1985, a PirathoniteH6553, judgedH8199 IsraelH3478.
And he had fortyH705 sonsH1121 and thirtyH7970 nephewsH1121+H1121, that rodeH7392 on threescore and tenH7657 ass coltsH5895: and he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 eightH8083 yearsH8141. {nephews: Heb. sons' sons}
And AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of HillelH1985 the PirathoniteH6553 diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in PirathonH6552 in the landH776 of EphraimH669, in the mountH2022 of the AmalekitesH6003.

And JephthahH3316 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, sayingH559, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art comeH935 against me to fightH3898 in my landH776?
And the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 answeredH559 unto the messengersH4397 of JephthahH3316, Because IsraelH3478 took awayH3947 my landH776, when they came upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, from ArnonH769 even unto JabbokH2999, and unto JordanH3383: now therefore restore those lands againH7725 peaceablyH7965.
And JephthahH3316 sentH7971 messengersH4397 againH3254 unto the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983:
And saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 JephthahH3316, IsraelH3478 took not awayH3947 the landH776 of MoabH4124, nor the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983:
But when IsraelH3478 came upH5927 from EgyptH4714, and walkedH3212 through the wildernessH4057 unto the RedH5488 seaH3220, and cameH935 to KadeshH6946;
Then IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto the kingH4428 of EdomH123, sayingH559, Let me, I pray thee, pass throughH5674 thy landH776: but the kingH4428 of EdomH123 would not hearkenH8085 thereto. And in like manner they sentH7971 unto the kingH4428 of MoabH4124: but he wouldH14 not consent: and IsraelH3478 abodeH3427 in KadeshH6946.
Then they went alongH3212 through the wildernessH4057, and compassedH5437 the landH776 of EdomH123, and the landH776 of MoabH4124, and cameH935 by the east sideH4217+H8121 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, and pitchedH2583 on the other sideH5676 of ArnonH769, but cameH935 not within the borderH1366 of MoabH4124: for ArnonH769 was the borderH1366 of MoabH4124.
And IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809; and IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, Let us passH5674, we pray thee, through thy landH776 intoH5704 my placeH4725.
But SihonH5511 trustedH539 not IsraelH3478 to passH5674 through his coastH1366: but SihonH5511 gatheredH622 all his peopleH5971 togetherH622, and pitchedH2583 in JahazH3096, and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 deliveredH5414 SihonH5511 and all his peopleH5971 into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, and they smoteH5221 them: so IsraelH3478 possessedH3423 all the landH776 of the AmoritesH567, the inhabitantsH3427 of that countryH776.
And they possessedH3423 all the coastsH1366 of the AmoritesH567, from ArnonH769 even unto JabbokH2999, and from the wildernessH4057 even unto JordanH3383.
So now the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath dispossessedH3423 the AmoritesH567 from beforeH6440 his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and shouldest thou possessH3423 it?
Wilt not thou possessH3423 that which ChemoshH3645 thy godH430 giveth thee to possessH3423? So whomsoever the LORDH3068 our GodH430 shall drive outH3423 from beforeH6440 us, them will we possessH3423.
And now art thou any thing betterH2896 than BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124? did he everH7378 striveH7378 against IsraelH3478, or did he everH3898 fightH3898 against them,
While IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in HeshbonH2809 and her townsH1323, and in AroerH6177 and her townsH1323, and in all the citiesH5892 that be along by the coastsH3027 of ArnonH769, threeH7969 hundredH3967 yearsH8141? why therefore did ye not recoverH5337 them within that timeH6256?
Wherefore I have not sinnedH2398 against thee, but thou doestH6213+H853 me wrongH7451 to warH3898 against me: the LORDH3068 the JudgeH8199 be judgeH8199 this dayH3117 between the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
Howbeit the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 hearkenedH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of JephthahH3316 which he sentH7971 him.
Then the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 came upon JephthahH3316, and he passed overH5674 GileadH1568, and ManassehH4519, and passed overH5674 MizpehH4708 of GileadH1568, and from MizpehH4708 of GileadH1568 he passed overH5674 unto the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And JephthahH3316 vowedH5087 a vowH5088 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, If thou shalt without failH5414 deliverH5414 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 into mine handsH3027,
Then it shall be, that whatsoeverH3318 cometh forthH3318 of the doorsH1817 of my houseH1004 to meetH7125 me, when I returnH7725 in peaceH7965 from the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, shall surely be the LORD'SH3068, and I will offer it upH5927 for a burnt offeringH5930. {whatsoever…: Heb. that which cometh forth, which shall come forth} {and…: or, or I will offer it, etc}
So JephthahH3316 passed overH5674 unto the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 to fightH3898 against them; and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into his handsH3027.
And he smoteH5221 them from AroerH6177, even till thou comeH935 to MinnithH4511, even twentyH6242 citiesH5892, and unto the plainH58 of the vineyardsH3754+H64, with a veryH3966 greatH1419 slaughterH4347. Thus the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 were subduedH3665 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {the plain: or, Abel}
