Judges 11:4-11
4Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961, afterH4480 a whileH3117, that 1the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 foughtH3898 againstH5973 IsraelH3478. 5WhenH3512 the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 foughtH3898 againstH5973 IsraelH3478, the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 wentH1980 to getH3947 JephthahH3316 from the landH776 of TobH2897; 6and they saidH559 to JephthahH3316, “ComeH1980 and be our leaderH7101, that we may fightH3898 against the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983.” 7But JephthahH3316 saidH559 to the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, “2Did you not hateH8130 me and driveH1644 me from my father’sH1 houseH1004? So whyH4069 have you comeH935 to me nowH6258 whenH3512 you areH6887 inH6887 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 the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983, and 3becomeH1961 our headH7218 over allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of GileadH1568.” 9So JephthahH3316 saidH559 to the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, “IfH518 you bringH7725 me backH7725 to fightH3898 against the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983 and the LordH3068 givesH5414 them upH5414 4to me, will I becomeH1961 your headH7218?” 10And the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 saidH559 to JephthahH3316, “5The LordH3068 is 6witnessH8085 betweenH996 us; be assuredH518H3808 we will doH6213 7as you have saidH1697.” 11Then JephthahH3316 wentH1980 with the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, and the peopleH5971 madeH7760 him headH7218 and leaderH7101 overH5921 them; and JephthahH3316 spokeH1696 allH3605 his wordsH1697 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 at 8MizpahH4709.
