⁴ And it happened after some time the sons of Ammon made war against Israel. ⁵ And when the sons of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah out of the land of Tob. ⁶ And they said to Jephthah, Come and be our commander, so that we may fight with the sons of Ammon. ⁷ And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Have you not hated me and thrown me out of my father's house? Why have you come to me now when you are in trouble? ⁸ And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, For this reason we turn again to you now, so that you may go with us and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be our head over all the people of Gilead. ⁹ And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If you bring me home again to fight against the sons of Ammon, and Jehovah delivers them before me, shall I be your head? ¹⁰ And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Jehovah is witness between us if we do not do so according to your word. ¹¹ And Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and commander over them.

Now therefore restore those lands peaceably. ¹⁴ And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the sons of Ammon. ¹⁵ And he said to him, So says Jephthah, Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the sons of Ammon. ¹⁶ But when they came up from Egypt, Israel walked through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh. ¹⁷ And Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, I pray you, let me pass through your land. But the king of Edom would not listen. And in the same way they sent to the king of Moab, but he would not.

And Israel said to him, We pray you, let us pass through your land to my place. ²⁰ But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his border. But Sihon gathered all his people together and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel. ²¹ And Jehovah, the God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck them. So Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, who lived in that country. ²² And they possessed all the borders of the Amorites, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to Jordan. ²³ So now Jehovah, the God of Israel has put out the Amorites before His people Israel, and should you possess it? ²⁴ Will you not possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whomever Jehovah our God shall drive out from before us, we will possess them. ²⁵ And now are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them ²⁶ when Israel lived in Heshbon and its villages, and Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities which are along by the borders of Arnon, for three hundred years? Why then did you not deliver them in that time? ²⁷ So I have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong to war against me. Jehovah, the Judge, will judge this day between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon. ²⁸ And the king of the sons of Ammon did not listen to the words of Jephthah which he sent to him. ²⁹ Then the Spirit of Jehovah came on Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead passed over to the sons of Ammon. ³⁰ And Jephthah vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If You will indeed give the sons of Ammon into my hand, ³¹ then it shall be that whatever comes out from the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon, surely it shall belong to Jehovah, or I will offer it up instead of a burnt offering. ³² And Jephthah passed over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them. And Jehovah delivered them into his hand. ³³ And he struck them from Aroer even until you come to Minnith, twenty cities, and to the meadow of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. So were the sons of Ammon subdued before the sons of Israel.

¹ And it happened after this, the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned in his stead. ² And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.

And David's servants came to the land of the sons of Ammon. ³ And the leaders of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Do you think that David honors your father, that he has sent comforters to you? Has not David sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it? ⁴ And Hanun took David's servants and shaved off half their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, to their buttocks, and sent them away. ⁵ And they told David, and he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Stay at Jericho until your beards are grown, and return. ⁶ And the sons of Ammon saw that they had begun to stink before David. And the sons of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and from King Maacah a thousand men, and from Ishtob twelve thousand men. ⁷ And David heard. And he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men. ⁸ And the sons of Ammon came out and put the battle in order at the entering in of the gate. And the Syrians of Zobah, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field. ⁹ And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind. And he chose from all the choice ones of Israel, and put them in order against the Syrians. ¹⁰ And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, so that he might set in order against the sons of Ammon. ¹¹ And he said, If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me. But if the sons of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you. ¹² Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people and for the cities of our God. And may Jehovah do that which seems good to Him. ¹³ And Joab and the people with him drew near to the battle against the Syrians.

And Joab returned from the sons of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.

¹ So says Jehovah to the sons of Ammon: Has Israel no sons? Or has he no heir?

And it shall be a heap of ruins, and her daughter-villages shall be burned with fire. Then Israel shall inherit his inheritance, says Jehovah. ³ Wail, O Heshbon; Ai is spoiled! Cry, daughters of Rabbah; clothe yourselves with sackcloth, mourn, and run to and fro by the hedges! For their king shall go into exile; his priests and his rulers together. ⁴ Why do you glory in your valley, your flowing valleys, O backsliding daughter? she trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come to me? ⁵ Behold, I will bring a fear on you, says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, from all those who are around you. And you shall be driven out, each man straight forward; and there shall be none to gather up the runaways. ⁶ And afterward I will bring again the exile of the sons of Ammon, says Jehovah.
