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>
