H3316
Now Jephthah
H1569
the Gileadite
H1368
was a mighty
H2428
man of valor,
H1121
and he was the son
H2181
of an harlot:
H1568
and Gilead
H3205
begat
H3316
Jephthah.
2
H1568
And Gilead’s
H802
wife
H3205
bore
H1121
him sons;
H802
and his wife’s
H1121
sons
H1431
grew
H1644
up, and they thrust
H3316
out Jephthah,
H559
and said
H5157
to him, You shall not inherit
H1
in our father’s
H1004
house;
H1121
for you are the son
H312
of a strange
H802
woman.
3
H3316
Then Jephthah
H1272
fled
H251
from his brothers,
H3427
and dwelled
H776
in the land
H2897
of Tob:
H3950
and there were gathered
H7386
vain
H582
men
H3316
to Jephthah,
H3318
and went out with him.
4
H1961
And it came
H3117
to pass in process of time,
H1121
that the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3898
made war
H5973
against
H3478
Israel.
5
H834
And it was so, that when
H1121
the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3898
made war
H5973
against
H3478
Israel,
H2205
the elders
H1568
of Gilead
H3212
went
H3947
to fetch
H3316
Jephthah
H776
out of the land
H2897
of Tob:
6
H559
And they said
H3316
to Jephthah,
H3212
Come,
H7101
and be our captain,
H3898
that we may fight
H1121
with the children
H5983
of Ammon.
7
H3316
And Jephthah
H559
said
H2205
to the elders
H1568
of Gilead,
H8130
Did not you hate
H1644
me, and expel
H1
me out of my father’s
H1004
house?
H4069
and why
H935
are you come
H6258
to me now
H834
when
H6887
you are in distress?
8
H2205
And the elders
H1568
of Gilead
H559
said
H3316
to Jephthah,
H7725
Therefore we turn
H7725
again
H6258
to you now,
H1980
that you may go
H3898
with us, and fight
H1121
against the children
H5983
of Ammon,
H7218
and be our head
H3605
over all
H3427
the inhabitants
H1568
of Gilead.
9
H3316
And Jephthah
H559
said
H2205
to the elders
H1568
of Gilead,
H518
If
H7725
you bring
H7725
me home
H7725
again
H3898
to fight
H1121
against the children
H5983
of Ammon,
H3068
and the LORD
H5414
deliver
H6440
them before
H7218
me, shall I be your head?
10
H2205
And the elders
H1568
of Gilead
H559
said
H3316
to Jephthah,
H3068
The LORD
H8085
be witness
H996
between
H518
us, if
H6213
we do
H3651
not so
H1697
according to your words.
11
H3316
Then Jephthah
H3212
went
H2205
with the elders
H1568
of Gilead,
H5971
and the people
H7760
made
H7218
him head
H7101
and captain
H5921
over
H3316
them: and Jephthah
H1696
uttered
H3605
all
H1697
his words
H6440
before
H3068
the LORD
H4709
in Mizpeh.
12
H3316
And Jephthah
H7971
sent
H4397
messengers
H4428
to the king
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon,
H559
saying,
H4100
What
H935
have you to do with me, that you are come
H413
against
H3898
me to fight
H776
in my land?
13
H4428
And the king
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon
H559
answered
H4397
to the messengers
H3316
of Jephthah,
H3588
Because
H3478
Israel
H3947
took
H776
away my land,
H5927
when they came
H4714
up out of Egypt,
H769
from Arnon
H2999
even to Jabbok,
H3383
and to Jordan:
H6258
now
H7725
therefore restore
H7725
those lands again
H7965
peaceably.
14
H3316
And Jephthah
H7971
sent
H4397
messengers
H3254
again
H5750
H4428
to the king
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon:
15
H559
And said
H3541
to him, Thus
H559
said
H3316
Jephthah,
H3478
Israel
H3947
took
H776
not away the land
H4124
of Moab,
H776
nor the land
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon:
16
H3478
But when Israel
H5927
came
H4714
up from Egypt,
H3212
and walked
H4057
through the wilderness
H5488
to the Red
H3220
sea,
H935
and came
H6946
to Kadesh;
17
H3478
Then Israel
H7971
sent
H4397
messengers
H4428
to the king
H123
of Edom,
H559
saying,
H4994
Let me, I pray
H5674
you, pass
H776
through your land:
H4428
but the king
H123
of Edom
H8085
would not listen
H1571
thereto. And in like
H7971
manner they sent
H4428
to the king
H4124
of Moab:
H14
but he would
H14
not consent:
H3478
and Israel
H3427
stayed
H6946
in Kadesh.
18
H3212
Then they went
H4057
along through the wilderness,
H5437
and compassed
H776
the land
H123
of Edom,
H776
and the land
H4124
of Moab,
H935
and came
H4217
by the east
H8121
H776
side of the land
H4124
of Moab,
H2583
and pitched
H5676
on the other
H5676
side
H769
of Arnon,
H935
but came
H1366
not within the border
H4124
of Moab:
H769
for Arnon
H1366
was the border
H4124
of Moab.
19
H3478
And Israel
H7971
sent
H4397
messengers
H5511
to Sihon
H4428
king
H567
of the Amorites,
H4428
the king
H2809
of Heshbon;
H3478
and Israel
H559
said
H5674
to him, Let us pass,
H4994
we pray
H776
you, through your land
H5704
into
H4725
my place.
20
H5511
But Sihon
H539
trusted
H3478
not Israel
H5674
to pass
H1366
through his coast:
H5511
but Sihon
H622
gathered
H3605
all
H5971
his people
H2583
together, and pitched
H3096
in Jahaz,
H3898
and fought
H5973
against
H3478
Israel.
21
H3068
And the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H5414
delivered
H5511
Sihon
H3605
and all
H5971
his people
H3027
into the hand
H3478
of Israel,
H5221
and they smote
H3478
them: so Israel
H3423
possessed
H3605
all
H776
the land
H567
of the Amorites,
H3427
the inhabitants
H776
of that country.
22
H3423
And they possessed
H3605
all
H1366
the coasts
H567
of the Amorites,
H769
from Arnon
H2999
even to Jabbok,
H4057
and from the wilderness
H3383
even to Jordan.
23
H6258
So now
H3068
the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H3423
has dispossessed
H567
the Amorites
H6440
from before
H5971
his people
H3478
Israel,
H3423
and should you possess it?
24
H3423
Will not you possess
H834
that which
H3645
Chemosh
H430
your god
H3423
gives you to possess?
H3605
So whomsoever
H834
H3068
the LORD
H430
our God
H3423
shall drive
H6440
out from before
H3423
us, them will we possess.
25
H6258
And now
H2896
are you any thing better
H1111
than Balak
H1121
the son
H6834
of Zippor,
H4428
king
H4124
of Moab?
H7378
did he ever strive
H5973
against
H3478
Israel,
H3898
or did he ever fight
H5973
against them,
26
H3478
While Israel
H3427
dwelled
H2809
in Heshbon
H1323
and her towns,
H6177
and in Aroer
H1323
and her towns,
H3605
and in all
H5892
the cities
H3027
that be along by the coasts
H769
of Arnon,
H7969
three
H3967
hundred
H8141
years?
H4069
why
H5337
therefore did you not recover
H6256
them within that time?
27
H2398
Why I have not sinned
H6213
against you, but you do
H7451
me wrong
H3898
to war
H3068
against me: the LORD
H8199
the Judge
H8199
be judge
H3117
this day
H996
between
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel
H1121
and the children
H5983
of Ammon.
28
H4428
However, the king
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon
H8085
listened
H1697
not to the words
H3316
of Jephthah
H834
which
H7971
he sent him.
29
H7307
Then the Spirit
H3068
of the LORD
H1961
came
H3316
on Jephthah,
H5674
and he passed
H5674
over
H1568
Gilead,
H4519
and Manasseh,
H5674
and passed
H5674
over
H4708
Mizpeh
H1568
of Gilead,
H4708
and from Mizpeh
H1568
of Gilead
H5674
he passed
H5674
over
H1121
to the children
H5983
of Ammon.
30
H3316
And Jephthah
H5087
vowed
H5088
a vow
H3068
to the LORD,
H559
and said,
H518
If
H5414
you shall without fail deliver
H1121
the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3027
into my hands,
31
H834
Then it shall be, that whatever
H3318
comes
H3318
forth
H1817
of the doors
H1004
of my house
H7125
to meet
H7725
me, when I return
H7965
in peace
H1121
from the children
H5983
of Ammon,
H3068
shall surely be the LORD’s,
H5927
and I will offer
H5930
it up for a burnt offering.
32
H3316
So Jephthah
H5674
passed
H5674
over
H1121
to the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3898
to fight
H3068
against them; and the LORD
H5414
delivered
H3027
them into his hands.
33
H5221
And he smote
H6177
them from Aroer,
H5704
even till
H935
you come
H4511
to Minnith,
H6242
even twenty
H5892
cities,
H58
and to the plain
H3754
of the vineyards,
H3966
with a very
H1419
great
H4347
slaughter.
H1121
Thus the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3665
were subdued
H6440
before
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel.
34
H3316
And Jephthah
H935
came
H4709
to Mizpeh
H1004
to his house,
H2009
and, behold,
H1323
his daughter
H3318
came
H7125
out to meet
H8596
him with tambourines
H4246
and with dances:
H3173
and she was his only
H3173
child;
H369
beside her he had neither
H1121
son
H176
nor
H1323
daughter.
35
H1961
And it came
H7200
to pass, when he saw
H7167
her, that he rent
H899
his clothes,
H559
and said,
H162
Alas,
H1323
my daughter!
H3766
you have brought
H3766
me very low,
H5916
and you are one of them that trouble
H6475
me: for I have opened
H6310
my mouth
H3068
to the LORD,
H3808
and I cannot
H3201
H7725
go
H7725
back.
36
H559
And she said
H1
to him, My father,
H6475
if you have opened
H6310
your mouth
H3068
to the LORD,
H6213
do
H834
to me according to that which
H3318
has proceeded
H6310
out of your mouth;
H310
for as much
H834
H3068
as the LORD
H6213
has taken
H5360
vengeance
H341
for you of your enemies,
H1121
even of the children
H5983
of Ammon.
37
H559
And she said
H1
to her father,
H2088
Let this
H1697
thing
H6213
be done
H7503
for me: let me alone
H8147
two
H2320
months,
H3212
that I may go
H3381
up and down
H2022
on the mountains,
H1058
and mourn
H1331
my virginity,
H7464
I and my fellows.
38
H559
And he said,
H3212
Go.
H7971
And he sent
H8147
her away for two
H2320
months:
H3212
and she went
H7464
with her companions,
H1058
and bewailed
H1331
her virginity
H2022
on the mountains.
