jephthah <JUG11 -1> Now {Jephthah} the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he [was] the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.

jephthah <JUG11 -1> Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he [was] the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat {Jephthah}.

jephthah <JUG11 -2> And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out {Jephthah}, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou [art] the son of a strange woman.

jephthah <JUG11 -3> Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to {Jephthah}, and went out with him.

jephthah <JUG11 -3> Then {Jephthah} fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.

jephthah <JUG11 -5> And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch {Jephthah} out of the land of Tob:

jephthah <JUG11 -6> And they said unto {Jephthah}, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.

jephthah <JUG11 -7> And {Jephthah} said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?

jephthah <JUG11 -8> And the elders of Gilead said unto {Jephthah}, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

jephthah <JUG11 -9> And {Jephthah} said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?

jephthah <JUG11 -10> And the elders of Gilead said unto {Jephthah}, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.

jephthah <JUG11 -11> Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and {Jephthah} uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.

jephthah <JUG11 -11> Then {Jephthah} went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.

jephthah <JUG11 -12> And {Jephthah} sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?

jephthah <JUG11 -13> And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of {Jephthah}, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those [lands] agai

n peaceably.

jephthah <JUG11 -14> And {Jephthah} sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:

jephthah <JUG11 -15> And said unto him, Thus saith {Jephthah}, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:

jephthah <JUG11 -28> Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of {Jephthah} which he sent him.

jephthah <JUG11 -29> Then the spirit of the LORD came upon {Jephthah}, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over [unto] the children of Ammon.

jephthah <JUG11 -30> And {Jephthah} vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,

jephthah <JUG11 -32> So {Jephthah} passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.

jephthah <JUG11 -34> And {Jephthah} came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she [was his] only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.

jephthah <JUG11 -40> [That] the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of {Jephthah} the Gileadite four days in a year.

jephthah <JUG12 -1> And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto {Jephthah}, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upo

n thee with fire.

jephthah <JUG12 -2> And {Jephthah} said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.

jephthah <JUG12 -4> Then {Jephthah} gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites [are] fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, [and] among the Manassites.

jephthah <JUG12 -7> And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died {Jephthah} the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.

jephthah <JUG12 -7> And {Jephthah} judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.

jephthah <1SA12 -11> And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and {Jephthah}, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.
