Judges 12

1And the menH376 of EphraimH669 were calledH7121 together, and passedH5674 over northwards, and saidH559 to JephthahH3316, WhyH4069 didst thou passH5674 over to fightH3898 against the children of AmmonH5983, and didst not callH7121 us to go with thee? We will burnH8313 thy houseH1004 upon thee with fireH784. 2And JephthahH3316 saidH559 to them, I wasH1961 at great strifeH7379, I and my peopleH5971, with the children of AmmonH5983; and I calledH2199 you, but ye savedH3467 me not out of their handH3027. 3And when I sawH7200 that ye would not saveH3467 me, I putH5414 my lifeH5315 in my handH3027, and passedH5674 over against the children of AmmonH5983, and Jehovah gaveH5414 them into my handH3027. WhyH4100 then are ye comeH5927 up to me this dayH3117, to fightH3898 against me? 4And JephthahH3316 gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 all the menH376 of GileadH1568, and foughtH3898 with EphraimH669; and the menH376 of GileadH1568 smote EphraimH669, because they saidH559, Ye, GileadH1568, ye are fugitivesH6412 of EphraimH669 in the midstH8432 of EphraimH669, [and] in the midstH8432 of ManassehH4519. 5And GileadH1568 tookH3920 the fords of the JordanH3383 before EphraimH669; and it came to passH5674 that when the fugitivesH6412 of EphraimH669 saidH559, Let me go over, the menH376 of GileadH1568 saidH559 to him, Art thou an Ephraimite? and he saidH559, No. 6Then they saidH559 to him, SayH559 now Shibboleth! and he saidH559, Sibboleth, and did not manage to pronounce [it] rightly. Then they took him, and slaughteredH7819 him at the fords of the JordanH3383. And there fellH5307 at that timeH6256 of EphraimH669 forty-two thousandH505. 7And JephthahH3316 judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 sixH8337 yearsH8141. And JephthahH3316 the GileaditeH1569 diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in [one of] the citiesH5892 of GileadH1568. 8And after him IbzanH78 of Bethlehem judgedH8199 IsraelH3478. 9And he had thirtyH7970 sonsH1121; and thirtyH7970 daughtersH1323 he sentH7971 out of the house, and thirtyH7970 daughtersH1323 he took in from abroad for his sonsH1121. And he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 sevenH7651 yearsH8141. 10And IbzanH78 diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 at Bethlehem. 11And after him ElonH356, the Zebulonite, judgedH8199 IsraelH3478; and he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 tenH6235 yearsH8141. 12And Elon the Zebulonite diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in Ajalon in the landH776 of ZebulunH2074. 13And after him AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of HillelH1985, the PirathoniteH6553, judgedH8199 IsraelH3478. 14And he had fortyH705 sonsH1121 and thirtyH7970 grandsons, who rodeH7392 on seventyH7657 ass colts. And he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 eightH8083 yearsH8141. 15And AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of HillelH1985, the PirathoniteH6553, diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in Pirathon in the landH776 of EphraimH669, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.
