Judges 11:7-11

7JephthahH3316 repliedH559 to the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, “Did youH859 notH3808 hateH8130 meH853 and expel meH1644 from my father’sH1 houseH1004? WhyH4069 then have you comeH935 to meH413 nowH6258, whenH834 you are in distressH6862?”

8TheyH2205H1568 answeredH559 JephthahH3316, “This is whyH3651 we nowH6258 turnH7725H413 to youH413, that you may goH1980 with usH5973, fightH3898 the AmmonitesH1121H5983, and becomeH1961 leaderH7218 over allH3605 of us who liveH3427 in GileadH1568.”

9But JephthahH3316 askedH559 them, “IfH518 youH859 take me backH7725 to fightH3898 the AmmonitesH1121H5983 and the LORDH3068 gives themH5414 to meH6440, will IH595 really beH1961 your leaderH7218?”

10And the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 saidH559 toH413 JephthahH3316, “The LORDH3068 isH1961 our witnessH8085H996 ifH518 we do notH3808 doH6213 as you sayH1697H3651.”

11So JephthahH3316 wentH1980 withH5973 the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, and the peopleH5971 made himH7760 theirH5921 leaderH7218 and commanderH7101. And JephthahH3316 repeatedH1696 allH3605 his termsH1697 in the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 at MizpahH4709.
