Judges 11:5-15

And it was so, that when the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
made war
<03898> (8738)
against Israel
<03478>_,
the elders
<02205>
of Gilead
<01568>
went
<03212> (8799)
to fetch
<03947> (8800)
Jephthah
<03316>
out of the land
<0776>
of Tob
<02897>_:
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jephthah
<03316>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and be our captain
<07101>_,
that we may fight
<03898> (8735)
with the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_.
And Jephthah
<03316>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the elders
<02205>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
Did not ye hate
<08130> (8804)
me, and expel
<01644> (8762)
me out of my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_?
and why are ye come
<0935> (8804)
unto me now when ye are in distress
<06887> (8804)_?
And the elders
<02205>
of Gilead
<01568>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jephthah
<03316>_,
Therefore we turn again
<07725> (8804)
to thee now, that thou mayest go
<01980> (8804)
with us, and fight
<03898> (8738)
against the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and be our head
<07218>
over all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Gilead
<01568>_.
And Jephthah
<03316>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the elders
<02205>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
If ye bring me home again
<07725> (8688)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
deliver
<05414> (8804)
them before
<06440>
me, shall I be your head
<07218>_?
And the elders
<02205>
of Gilead
<01568>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jephthah
<03316>_,
The LORD
<03068>
be witness
<08085> (8802)
between us, if we do
<06213> (8799)
not so according to thy words
<01697>_.
{witness...: Heb. the hearer between us}
Then Jephthah
<03316>
went
<03212> (8799)
with the elders
<02205>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
and the people
<05971>
made
<07760> (8799)
him head
<07218>
and captain
<07101>
over them: and Jephthah
<03316>
uttered
<01696> (8762)
all his words
<01697>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
in Mizpeh
<04709>_.
And Jephthah
<03316>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
unto the king
<04428>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come
<0935> (8804)
against me to fight
<03898> (8736)
in my land
<0776>_?
And the king
<04428>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
answered
<0559> (8799)
unto the messengers
<04397>
of Jephthah
<03316>_,
Because Israel
<03478>
took away
<03947> (8804)
my land
<0776>_,
when they came up
<05927> (8800)
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
from Arnon
<0769>
even unto Jabbok
<02999>_,
and unto Jordan
<03383>_:
now therefore restore those [lands] again
<07725> (8685)
peaceably
<07965>_.
And Jephthah
<03316>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
again
<03254> (8686)
unto the king
<04428>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_:
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
Jephthah
<03316>_,
Israel
<03478>
took not away
<03947> (8804)
the land
<0776>
of Moab
<04124>_,
nor the land
<0776>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_:
