5And 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 to JephthahH3316, Come, and beH1961 our captain, that we may fightH3898 against the children of AmmonH5983.

7And JephthahH3316 saidH559 to the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, Did not ye hateH8130 me, and expel me out of my father's houseH1004? and whyH4069 are ye comeH935 to me nowH6258 whenH834 ye are in trouble?

8And the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 saidH559 to JephthahH3316, ThereforeH3651 we have returnedH7725 to thee nowH6258, that thou mayest goH1980 with us, and fightH3898 against the children of AmmonH5983, and beH1961 headH7218 over all of us the inhabitantsH3427 of GileadH1568.

9And JephthahH3316 saidH559 to the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, If ye take me backH7725 to fightH3898 against the children of AmmonH5983, and Jehovah giveH5414 them up before me, shall I beH1961 your headH7218?
