ASV_Strongs(i)
  4 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.
