Judges 11

KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 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.
  39 H7093 And it came to pass at the end H8147 of two H2320 months H7725 , that she returned [H8799]   H1 unto her father H6213 , who did [H8799]   H5088 with her according to his vow H5087 which he had vowed [H8804]   H3045 : and she knew [H8804]   H376 no man H2706 . And it was a custom H3478 in Israel,
  40 H1323 That the daughters H3478 of Israel H3212 went [H8799]   H3117 yearly H3117   H8567 to lament [H8763]   H1323 the daughter H3316 of Jephthah H1569 the Gileadite H702 four H3117 days H8141 in a year.
