And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, If ye bring me home againH7725 to fightH3898 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and the LORDH3068 deliverH5414 them beforeH6440 me, shall I be your headH7218?
Then JephthahH3316 wentH3212 with the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, and the peopleH5971 madeH7760 him headH7218 and captainH7101 over them: and JephthahH3316 utteredH1696 all his wordsH1697 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 in MizpehH4709.
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.
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.
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.
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}
And it came to pass, when he sawH7200 her, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899, and saidH559, AlasH162, my daughterH1323! thou hast broughtH3766 me veryH3766 lowH3766, and thou art one of them that troubleH5916 me: for I have openedH6475 my mouthH6310 unto the LORDH3068, and I cannotH3201 go backH7725.
And Gilead'sH1568 wifeH802 bareH3205 him sonsH1121; and his wife'sH802 sonsH1121 grew upH1431, and they thrust outH1644 JephthahH3316, and saidH559 unto him, Thou shalt not inheritH5157 in our father'sH1 houseH1004; for thou art the sonH1121 of a strangeH312 womanH802.
Wherefore she saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Cast outH1644 this bondwomanH519 and her sonH1121: for the sonH1121 of this bondwomanH519 shall not be heirH3423 with my sonH1121, even with IsaacH3327.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Let it not be grievousH3415 in thy sightH5869 because of the ladH5288, and because of thy bondwomanH519; in all that SarahH8283 hath saidH559 unto thee, hearkenH8085 unto her voiceH6963; for in IsaacH3327 shall thy seedH2233 be calledH7121.
AndG1161 SalmonG4533 begatG1080 BoozG1003 ofG1537 RachabG4477; andG1161 BoozG1003 begatG1080 ObedG5601 ofG1537 RuthG4503; andG1161 ObedG5601 begatG1080 JesseG2421;
Then JephthahH3316 fledH1272 fromH6440 his brethrenH251, and dweltH3427 in the landH776 of TobH2897: and there were gatheredH3950 vainH7386 menH582 to JephthahH3316, and went outH3318 with him. {from: Heb. from the face}
And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, Did not ye hateH8130 me, and expelH1644 me out of my father'sH1 houseH1004? and why are ye comeH935 unto me now when ye are in distressH6887?
Yet ye have forsakenH5800 me, and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430: wherefore I will deliverH3467 you no moreH3254.
GoH3212 and cryH2199 unto the godsH430 which ye have chosenH977; let themH1992 deliverH3467 you in the timeH6256 of your tribulationH6869.
And they put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 from amongH7130 them, and servedH5647 the LORDH3068: and his soulH5315 was grievedH7114 for the miseryH5999 of IsraelH3478. {strange…: Heb. gods of strangers} {grieved: Heb. shortened}
I wroteG1125 unto the churchG1577: butG235 DiotrephesG1361, whoG3588 loveth to have the preeminenceG5383 among themG846, receivethG1926 usG2248 notG3756.
FeedG4165 the flockG4168 of GodG2316 which is amongG1722 youG5213, taking the oversightG1983 thereof, notG3361 by constraintG317, butG235 willinglyG1596; notG3366 for filthy lucreG147, butG235 of a ready mindG4290; {which…: or, as much as in you is}
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.
Or if a soulH5315 swearH7650, pronouncingH981 with his lipsH8193 to do evilH7489, or to do goodH3190, whatsoever it be that a manH120 shall pronounceH981 with an oathH7621, and it be hidH5956 from him; when he knowethH3045 of it, then he shall be guiltyH816 in oneH259 of these.
Or if a soulH5315 swearH7650, pronouncingH981 with his lipsH8193 to do evilH7489, or to do goodH3190, whatsoever it be that a manH120 shall pronounceH981 with an oathH7621, and it be hidH5956 from him; when he knowethH3045 of it, then he shall be guiltyH816 in oneH259 of these.
A softH7390 answerH4617 turnethH7725 away wrathH2534: but grievousH6089 wordsH1697 stir upH5927 angerH639.
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 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.
