5And it wasH1961 so, that, when the children of AmmonH5983 made war against IsraelH3478, the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 went to fetch JephthahH3316 out of the landH776 of TobH2897; 6and they saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, Come and beH1961 our chief, that we may fightH3898 with the children of AmmonH5983. 7And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, Did not ye hateH8130 me, and driveH1644 me out of my father’sH1 houseH1004? and whyH4069 are ye comeH935 unto me nowH6258 whenH834 ye are in distressH6862? 8And the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, ThereforeH3651 are we turnedH7725 again to thee nowH6258, that thou mayest goH1980 with us, and fightH3898 with the children of AmmonH5983; and thou shalt beH1961 our headH7218 over all the inhabitantsH3427 of GileadH1568. 9And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, If ye bringH7725 me home again to fightH3898 with the children of AmmonH5983, and Jehovah deliver them before me, shall I beH1961 your headH7218?
