Judges 11:7-11

7Then JephthahH3316 saidH559 to the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, “1Did you not hateH8130 me and driveH1644 me from my father’sH1 houseH1004? So whyH4069 have you comeH935 to me nowH6258 whenH3512 you are in troubleH6887?” 8The eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 saidH559 to JephthahH3316, “For thisH3651 reasonH3651 we have nowH6258 returnedH7725 to you, that you may goH1980 with us and fightH3898 with the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 and 2becomeH1961 headH7218 over allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of GileadH1568.” 9So JephthahH3316 saidH559 to the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, “IfH518 you takeH7725 me backH7725 to fightH3898 against the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 and the LordH3068 givesH5414 them up 3to me, will I becomeH1961 your headH7218?” 10The eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 saidH559 to JephthahH3316, “4The LordH3068 is 5witnessH8085 betweenH996 us; surelyH518H3808 we will doH6213 6as you have saidH1697.” 11Then JephthahH3316 wentH1980 with the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, and the peopleH5971 madeH7760 him headH7218 and chiefH7101 overH5921 them; and JephthahH3316 spokeH1696 allH3605 his wordsH1697 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 at 7MizpahH4709.
