H3117
And it came to pass after a while,
H1121
that the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3898
made war
H3478
against Israel.
5
H1121
And it was so, that, when the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3898
made war
H3478
against 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
unto Jephthah,
H3212
Come
H7101
and be our chief,
H3898
that we may fight
H1121
with the children
H5983
of Ammon.
7
H3316
And Jephthah
H559
said
H2205
unto the elders
H1568
of Gilead,
H8130
Did not ye hate
H1644
me, and drive
H1
me out of my father's
H1004
house?
H935
and why are ye come
H6887
unto me now when ye are in distress?
8
H2205
And the elders
H1568
of Gilead
H559
said
H3316
unto Jephthah,
H7725
Therefore are we turned again
H1980
to thee now, that thou mayest go
H3898
with us, and fight
H1121
with the children
H5983
of Ammon;
H7218
and thou shalt be our head
H3427
over all the inhabitants
H1568
of Gilead.
9
H3316
And Jephthah
H559
said
H2205
unto the elders
H1568
of Gilead,
H7725
If ye bring me home again
H3898
to fight
H1121
with the children
H5983
of Ammon,
H3068
and Jehovah
H5414
deliver
H6440
them before
H7218
me, shall I be your head?
10
H2205
And the elders
H1568
of Gilead
H559
said
H3316
unto Jephthah,
H3068
Jehovah
H8085
shall be witness
H1697
between us; surely according to thy word
H6213
so will we do.
11
H3316
Then Jephthah
H3212
went
H2205
with the elders
H1568
of Gilead,
H5971
and the people
H7760
made
H7218
him head
H7101
and chief
H3316
over them: and Jephthah
H1696
spake
H1697
all his words
H6440
before
H3068
Jehovah
H4709
in Mizpah.
12
H3316
And Jephthah
H7971
sent
H4397
messengers
H4428
unto the king
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon,
H559
saying,
H935
What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come
H3898
unto me to fight
H776
against my land?
13
H4428
And the king
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon
H559
answered
H4397
unto the messengers
H3316
of Jephthah,
H3478
Because Israel
H3947
took away
H776
my land,
H5927
when he came up
H4714
out of Egypt,
H769
from the Arnon
H2999
even unto the Jabbok,
H3383
and unto the Jordan:
H7725
now therefore restore those lands again
H7965
peaceably.
14
H3316
And Jephthah
H7971
sent
H4397
messengers
H3254
again
H4428
unto the king
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon;
15
H559
and he said
H559
unto him, Thus saith
H3316
Jephthah:
H3478
Israel
H3947
took not away
H776
the land
H4124
of Moab,
H776
nor the land
H1121
of the children
H5983
of Ammon,
16
H5927
but when they came up
H4714
from Egypt,
H3478
and Israel
H3212
went
H4057
through the wilderness
H5488
unto the Red
H3220
Sea,
H935
and came
H6946
to Kadesh;
17
H3478
then Israel
H7971
sent
H4397
messengers
H4428
unto the king
H123
of Edom,
H559
saying,
H5674
Let me, I pray thee, pass through
H776
thy land;
H4428
but the king
H123
of Edom
H8085
hearkened
H7971
not. And in like manner he sent
H4428
unto the king
H4124
of Moab;
H14
but he would
H3478
not: and Israel
H3427
abode
H6946
in Kadesh.
18
H3212
Then they went through
H4057
the wilderness,
H5437
and went around
H776
the land
H123
of Edom,
H776
and the land
H4124
of Moab,
H935
and came
H4217
by the east side
H776
of the land
H4124
of Moab,
H2583
and they encamped
H5676
on the other side
H769
of the Arnon;
H935
but they came
H1366
not within the border
H4124
of Moab,
H769
for the Arnon
H1366
was the border
H4124
of Moab.
19
H3478
And Israel
H7971
sent
H4397
messengers
H5511
unto Sihon
H4428
king
H567
of the Amorites,
H4428
the king
H2809
of Heshbon;
H3478
and Israel
H559
said
H5674
unto him, Let us pass,
H776
we pray thee, through thy land
H5704
unto
H4725
my place.
20
H5511
But Sihon
H539
trusted
H3478
not Israel
H5674
to pass
H1366
through his border;
H5511
but Sihon
H622
gathered
H5971
all his people
H622
together,
H2583
and encamped
H3096
in Jahaz,
H3898
and fought
H3478
against Israel.
21
H3068
And Jehovah,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H5414
delivered
H5511
Sihon
H5971
and all his people
H3027
into the hand
H3478
of Israel,
H5221
and they smote
H3478
them: so Israel
H3423
possessed
H776
all the land
H567
of the Amorites,
H3427
the inhabitants
H776
of that country.
22
H3423
And they possessed
H1366
all the border
H567
of the Amorites,
H769
from the Arnon
H2999
even unto the Jabbok,
H4057
and from the wilderness
H3383
even unto the Jordan.
23
H3068
So now Jehovah,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H3423
hath dispossessed
H567
the Amorites
H6440
from before
H5971
his people
H3478
Israel,
H3423
and shouldest thou possess them?
24
H3423
Wilt not thou possess
H3645
that which Chemosh
H430
thy god
H3423
giveth thee to possess?
H3068
So whomsoever Jehovah
H430
our God
H3423
hath dispossessed
H6440
from before
H3423
us, them will we possess.
25
H2896
And now art thou anything better
H1111
than Balak
H1121
the son
H6834
of Zippor,
H4428
king
H4124
of Moab?
H7378
did he ever
H7378
strive
H3478
against Israel,
H7378
or did he ever
H3898
fight against them?
26
H3478
While Israel
H3427
dwelt
H2809
in Heshbon
H1323
and its towns,
H6177
and in Aroer
H1323
and its towns,
H5892
and in all the cities
H3027
that are along by the side
H769
of the Arnon,
H7969
three
H3967
hundred
H8141
years;
H5337
wherefore did ye not recover
H6256
them within that time?
27
H2398
I therefore have not sinned
H6213
against thee, but thou doest
H7451
me wrong
H3898
to war
H3068
against me: Jehovah,
H8199
the Judge,
H8199
be judge
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
H1697
not unto the words
H3316
of Jephthah
H7971
which he sent him.
29
H7307
Then the Spirit
H3068
of Jehovah
H3316
came upon Jephthah,
H5674
and he passed over
H1568
Gilead
H4519
and Manasseh,
H5674
and passed over
H4708
Mizpeh
H1568
of Gilead,
H4708
and from Mizpeh
H1568
of Gilead
H5674
he passed over
H1121
unto the children
H5983
of Ammon.
30
H3316
And Jephthah
H5087
vowed
H5088
a vow
H3068
unto Jehovah,
H559
and said,
H5414
If thou wilt indeed
H5414
deliver
H1121
the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3027
into my hand,
31
H3318
then it shall be, that whatsoever
H3318
cometh forth
H1817
from 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
it shall be Jehovah's,
H5927
and I will offer it up
H5930
for a burnt-offering.
32
H3316
So Jephthah
H5674
passed over
H1121
unto the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3898
to fight
H3068
against them; and Jehovah
H5414
delivered
H3027
them into his hand.
33
H5221
And he smote
H6177
them from Aroer
H935
until thou come
H4511
to Minnith,
H6242
even twenty
H5892
cities,
H58
and unto
H3754
Abel-cheramim,
H3966
with a very
H1419
great
H4347
slaughter.
H1121
So the children
H5983
of Ammon
H3665
were subdued
H6440
before
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel.
