jephthah <JUG11 -1> Now {Jephthah} the Gileadite was a mighty <br> man of<br> <br> valour, and he [was] the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat<br> <br> Jephthah.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -1> Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man <br> of<br> <br> valour, and he [was] the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat<br> <br> {Jephthah}.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -2> And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his <br> wife's<br> <br> sons grew up, and they thrust out {Jephthah}, and said unto him,<br> <br> Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou [art] the <br> son<br> <br> of a strange woman.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -3> Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and <br> dwelt<br> <br> in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to <br> {Jephthah},<br> <br> and went out with him.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -3> Then {Jephthah} fled from his brethren, and<br> <br> dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to<br> <br> Jephthah, and went out with him.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -5> And it was so, that when the children of <br> Ammon<br> <br> made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch<br> <br> {Jephthah} out of the land of Tob:<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -6> And they said unto {Jephthah}, Come, and be <br> our<br> <br> captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -7> And {Jephthah} said unto the elders of <br> Gilead,<br> <br> Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and <br> why<br> <br> are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -8> And the elders of Gilead said unto <br> {Jephthah},<br> <br> Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us,<br> <br> and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all<br> <br> the inhabitants of Gilead.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -9> And {Jephthah} said unto the elders of <br> Gilead,<br> <br> If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon,<br> <br> and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -10> And the elders of Gilead said unto <br> {Jephthah},<br> <br> The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy<br> <br> words.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -11> Then Jephthah went with the elders of <br> Gilead,<br> <br> and the people made him head and captain over them: and <br> {Jephthah}<br> <br> uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -11> Then {Jephthah} went with the elders of <br> Gilead,<br> <br> and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah<br> <br> uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -12> And {Jephthah} sent messengers unto the <br> king of<br> <br> the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that<br> <br> thou art come against me to fight in my land?<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -13> And the king of the children of Ammon <br> answered<br> <br> unto the messengers of {Jephthah}, Because Israel took away my <br> land,<br> <br> when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and<br> <br> unto Jordan: now therefore restore those [lands] agai<br> <br> <br> <br> n peaceably.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -14> And {Jephthah} sent messengers again unto <br> the<br> <br> king of the children of Ammon:<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -15> And said unto him, Thus saith {Jephthah},<br> <br> Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the <br> children<br> <br> of Ammon:<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -28> Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon<br> <br> hearkened not unto the words of {Jephthah} which he sent him.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -29> Then the spirit of the LORD came upon<br> <br> {Jephthah}, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed <br> over<br> <br> Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over [unto]<br> <br> the children of Ammon.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -30> And {Jephthah} vowed a vow unto the LORD, <br> and<br> <br> said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon <br> into<br> <br> mine hands,<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -32> So {Jephthah} passed over unto the children <br> of<br> <br> Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his<br> <br> hands.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -34> And {Jephthah} came to Mizpeh unto his <br> house,<br> <br> and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and<br> <br> with dances: and she [was his] only child; beside her he had <br> neither<br> <br> son nor daughter.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG11 -40> [That] the daughters of Israel went yearly <br> to<br> <br> lament the daughter of {Jephthah} the Gileadite four days in a <br> year.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG12 -1> And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves<br> <br> together, and went northward, and said unto {Jephthah}, Wherefore<br> <br> passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and <br> didst<br> <br> not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upo<br> <br> <br> <br> n thee with fire.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG12 -2> And {Jephthah} said unto them, I and my <br> people<br> <br> were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I <br> called<br> <br> you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG12 -4> Then {Jephthah} gathered together all the <br> men of<br> <br> Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote<br> <br> Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites [are] fugitives of <br> Ephraim<br> <br> among the Ephraimites, [and] among the Manassites.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG12 -7> And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then <br> died<br> <br> {Jephthah} the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities <br> of<br> <br> Gilead.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <JUG12 -7> And {Jephthah} judged Israel six years. Then<br> <br> died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the <br> cities<br> <br> of Gilead.<br> <br> <br> <br> jephthah <1SA12 -11> And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and<br> <br> {Jephthah}, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your<br> <br> enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> ~~~~~~<br> <br>
