H3316
Now Jephthah
H1569
the Gileadite
H1368
was a mighty man
H2428
of valour
H1121
, and he was the son
H802
of an harlot
H2181
[H8802]
H1568
: and Gilead
H3205
begat
[H8686]
H3316
Jephthah.
2
H1568
And Gilead's
H802
wife
H3205
bare
[H8799]
H1121
him sons
H802
; and his wife's
H1121
sons
H1431
grew up
[H8799]
H1644
, and they thrust out
[H8762]
H3316
Jephthah
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H5157
unto him, Thou shalt not inherit
[H8799]
H1
in our father's
H1004
house
H1121
; for thou art the son
H312
of a strange
H802
woman.
3
H3316
Then Jephthah
H1272
fled
[H8799]
H6440
from
H251
his brethren
H3427
, and dwelt
[H8799]
H776
in the land
H2897
of Tob
H3950
: and there were gathered
[H8691]
H7386
vain
H582
men
H3316
to Jephthah
H3318
, and went out
[H8799]
with him.
4
H3117
And it came to pass in process of time
H1121
, that the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3898
made war
[H8735]
H3478
against Israel.
5
H1121
And it was so, that when the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3898
made war
[H8738]
H3478
against Israel
H2205
, the elders
H1568
of Gilead
H3212
went
[H8799]
H3947
to fetch
[H8800]
H3316
Jephthah
H776
out of the land
H2897
of Tob:
6
H559
And they said
[H8799]
H3316
unto Jephthah
H3212
, Come
[H8798]
H7101
, and be our captain
H3898
, that we may fight
[H8735]
H1121
with the children
H5983
of Ammon.
7
H3316
And Jephthah
H559
said
[H8799]
H2205
unto the elders
H1568
of Gilead
H8130
, Did not ye hate
[H8804]
H1644
me, and expel
[H8762]
H1
me out of my father's
H1004
house
H935
? and why are ye come
[H8804]
H6887
unto me now when ye are in distress
[H8804]
?
8
H2205
And the elders
H1568
of Gilead
H559
said
[H8799]
H3316
unto Jephthah
H7725
, Therefore we turn again
[H8804]
H1980
to thee now, that thou mayest go
[H8804]
H3898
with us, and fight
[H8738]
H1121
against the children
H5983
of Ammon
H7218
, and be our head
H3427
over all the inhabitants
[H8802]
H1568
of Gilead.
9
H3316
And Jephthah
H559
said
[H8799]
H2205
unto the elders
H1568
of Gilead
H7725
, If ye bring me home again
[H8688]
H3898
to fight
[H8736]
H1121
against the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3068
, and the LORD
H5414
deliver
[H8804]
H6440
them before
H7218
me, shall I be your head?
10
H2205
And the elders
H1568
of Gilead
H559
said
[H8799]
H3316
unto Jephthah
H3068
, The LORD
H8085
be witness
[H8802]
H6213
between us, if we do
[H8799]
H1697
not so according to thy words.
11
H3316
Then Jephthah
H3212
went
[H8799]
H2205
with the elders
H1568
of Gilead
H5971
, and the people
H7760
made
[H8799]
H7218
him head
H7101
and captain
H3316
over them: and Jephthah
H1696
uttered
[H8762]
H1697
all his words
H6440
before
H3068
the LORD
H4709
in Mizpeh.
12
H3316
And Jephthah
H7971
sent
[H8799]
H4397
messengers
H4428
unto the king
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H935
, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come
[H8804]
H3898
against me to fight
[H8736]
H776
in my land?
13
H4428
And the king
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon
H559
answered
[H8799]
H4397
unto the messengers
H3316
of Jephthah
H3478
, Because Israel
H3947
took away
[H8804]
H776
my land
H5927
, when they came up
[H8800]
H4714
out of Egypt
H769
, from Arnon
H2999
even unto Jabbok
H3383
, and unto Jordan
H7725
: now therefore restore those lands again
[H8685]
H7965
peaceably.
14
H3316
And Jephthah
H7971
sent
[H8799]
H4397
messengers
H3254
again
[H8686]
H4428
unto the king
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon:
15
H559
And said
[H8799]
H559
unto him, Thus saith
[H8804]
H3316
Jephthah
H3478
, Israel
H3947
took not away
[H8804]
H776
the land
H4124
of Moab
H776
, nor the land
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon:
16
H3478
But when Israel
H5927
came up
[H8800]
H4714
from Egypt
H3212
, and walked
[H8799]
H4057
through the wilderness
H5488
unto the Red
H3220
sea
H935
, and came
[H8799]
H6946
to Kadesh;
17
H3478
Then Israel
H7971
sent
[H8799]
H4397
messengers
H4428
unto the king
H123
of Edom
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H5674
, Let me, I pray thee, pass through
[H8799]
H776
thy land
H4428
: but the king
H123
of Edom
H8085
would not hearken
[H8804]
H7971
thereto . And in like manner they sent
[H8804]
H4428
unto the king
H4124
of Moab
H14
: but he would
[H8804]
H3478
not consent : and Israel
H3427
abode
[H8799]
H6946
in Kadesh.
18
H3212
Then they went along
[H8799]
H4057
through the wilderness
H5437
, and compassed
[H8799]
H776
the land
H123
of Edom
H776
, and the land
H4124
of Moab
H935
, and came
[H8799]
H4217
by the east side
H8121
H776
of the land
H4124
of Moab
H2583
, and pitched
[H8799]
H5676
on the other side
H769
of Arnon
H935
, but came
[H8804]
H1366
not within the border
H4124
of Moab
H769
: for Arnon
H1366
was the border
H4124
of Moab.
19
H3478
And Israel
H7971
sent
[H8799]
H4397
messengers
H5511
unto Sihon
H4428
king
H567
of the Amorites
H4428
, the king
H2809
of Heshbon
H3478
; and Israel
H559
said
[H8799]
H5674
unto him, Let us pass
[H8799]
H776
, we pray thee, through thy land
H5704
into
H4725
my place.
20
H5511
But Sihon
H539
trusted
[H8689]
H3478
not Israel
H5674
to pass
[H8800]
H1366
through his coast
H5511
: but Sihon
H622
gathered
H5971
all his people
H622
together
[H8799]
H2583
, and pitched
[H8799]
H3096
in Jahaz
H3898
, and fought
[H8735]
H3478
against Israel.
21
H3068
And the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H5414
delivered
[H8799]
H5511
Sihon
H5971
and all his people
H3027
into the hand
H3478
of Israel
H5221
, and they smote
[H8686]
H3478
them: so Israel
H3423
possessed
[H8799]
H776
all the land
H567
of the Amorites
H3427
, the inhabitants
[H8802]
H776
of that country.
22
H3423
And they possessed
[H8799]
H1366
all the coasts
H567
of the Amorites
H769
, from Arnon
H2999
even unto Jabbok
H4057
, and from the wilderness
H3383
even unto Jordan.
23
H3068
So now the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H3423
hath dispossessed
[H8689]
H567
the Amorites
H6440
from before
H5971
his people
H3478
Israel
H3423
, and shouldest thou possess
[H8799]
it?
24
H3423
Wilt not thou possess
[H8799]
H3645
that which Chemosh
H430
thy god
H3423
giveth thee to possess
[H8686]
H3068
? So whomsoever the LORD
H430
our God
H3423
shall drive out
[H8689]
H6440
from before
H3423
us, them will we possess
[H8799]
.
25
H2896
And now art thou any thing better
H1111
than Balak
H1121
the son
H6834
of Zippor
H4428
, king
H4124
of Moab
H7378
? did he ever
[H8800]
H7378
strive
[H8804]
H3478
against Israel
H3898
, or did he ever
[H8736]
H3898
fight
[H8738]
against them,
26
H3478
While Israel
H3427
dwelt
[H8800]
H2809
in Heshbon
H1323
and her towns
H6177
, and in Aroer
H1323
and her towns
H5892
, and in all the cities
H3027
that be along by the coasts
H769
of Arnon
H7969
, three
H3967
hundred
H8141
years
H5337
? why therefore did ye not recover
[H8689]
H6256
them within that time?
27
H2398
Wherefore I have not sinned
[H8804]
H6213
against thee, but thou doest
[H8802]
H853
H7451
me wrong
H3898
to war
[H8736]
H3068
against me: the LORD
H8199
the Judge
[H8802]
H8199
be judge
[H8799]
H3117
this day
H1121
between the children
H3478
of Israel
H1121
and the children
H5983
of Ammon.
28
H4428
Howbeit the king
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon
H8085
hearkened
[H8804]
H1697
not unto the words
H3316
of Jephthah
H7971
which he sent
[H8804]
him.
29
H7307
Then the Spirit
H3068
of the LORD
H3316
came upon Jephthah
H5674
, and he passed over
[H8799]
H1568
Gilead
H4519
, and Manasseh
H5674
, and passed over
[H8799]
H4708
Mizpeh
H1568
of Gilead
H4708
, and from Mizpeh
H1568
of Gilead
H5674
he passed over
[H8804]
H1121
unto the children
H5983
of Ammon.
30
H3316
And Jephthah
H5087
vowed
[H8799]
H5088
a vow
H3068
unto the LORD
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H5414
, If thou shalt without fail
[H8800]
H5414
deliver
[H8799]
H1121
the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3027
into mine hands,
31
H3318
Then it shall be, that whatsoever
[H8802]
H3318
cometh forth
[H8799]
H1817
of the doors
H1004
of my house
H7125
to meet
[H8800]
H7725
me, when I return
[H8800]
H7965
in peace
H1121
from the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3068
, shall surely be the LORD'S
H5927
, and I will offer it up
[H8689]
H5930
for a burnt offering.
32
H3316
So Jephthah
H5674
passed over
[H8799]
H1121
unto the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3898
to fight
[H8736]
H3068
against them; and the LORD
H5414
delivered
[H8799]
H3027
them into his hands.
33
H5221
And he smote
[H8686]
H6177
them from Aroer
H935
, even till thou come
[H8800]
H4511
to Minnith
H6242
, even twenty
H5892
cities
H58
, and unto the plain
H3754
of the vineyards
[H8677]
H64
H3966
, with a very
H1419
great
H4347
slaughter
H1121
. Thus the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3665
were subdued
[H8735]
H6440
before
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel.
34
H3316
And Jephthah
H935
came
[H8799]
H4709
to Mizpeh
H1004
unto his house
H1323
, and, behold, his daughter
H3318
came out
[H8802]
H7125
to meet
[H8800]
H8596
him with timbrels
H4246
and with dances
H3173
: and she was his only child
H1121
; beside her he had neither son
H176
nor
H1323
daughter.
35
H7200
And it came to pass, when he saw
[H8800]
H7167
her, that he rent
[H8799]
H899
his clothes
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H162
, Alas
H1323
, my daughter
H3766
! thou hast brought
H3766
me very
[H8689]
H3766
low
[H8687]
H5916
, and thou art one of them that trouble
[H8802]
H6475
me: for I have opened
[H8804]
H6310
my mouth
H3068
unto the LORD
H3201
, and I cannot
[H8799]
H7725
go back
[H8800]
.
36
H559
And she said
[H8799]
H1
unto him, My father
H6475
, if thou hast opened
[H8804]
H6310
thy mouth
H3068
unto the LORD
H6213
, do
[H8798]
H834
to me according to that which
H3318
hath proceeded
[H8804]
H6310
out of thy mouth
H310
; forasmuch
H3068
as the LORD
H6213
hath taken
[H8804]
H5360
vengeance
H341
for thee of thine enemies
[H8802]
H1121
, even of the children
H5983
of Ammon.
37
H559
And she said
[H8799]
H1
unto her father
H1697
, Let this thing
H6213
be done
[H8735]
H7503
for me: let me alone
[H8685]
H8147
two
H2320
months
H3212
, that I may go up
[H8799]
H3381
and down
[H8804]
H2022
upon the mountains
H1058
, and bewail
[H8799]
H1331
my virginity
H7464
, I and my fellows
[H8675]
H7474
.
38
H559
And he said
[H8799]
H3212
, Go
[H8798]
H7971
. And he sent her away
[H8799]
H8147
for two
H2320
months
H3212
: and she went
[H8799]
H7464
with her companions
H1058
, and bewailed
[H8799]
H1331
her virginity
H2022
upon the mountains.
