Judges 12:4-6
4Then JephthahH3316 gathered togetherH6908 all the menH582 of GileadH1568, and foughtH3898 with EphraimH669: and the menH582 of GileadH1568 smoteH5221 EphraimH669, because they saidH559, Ye GileaditesH1568 are fugitivesH6412 of EphraimH669 amongH8432 the EphraimitesH669, and amongH8432 the ManassitesH4519.
5And the GileaditesH1568 tookH3920 the passagesH4569 of JordanH3383 before the EphraimitesH669: and it was so, that when those EphraimitesH669 which were escapedH6412 saidH559, Let me go overH5674; that the menH582 of GileadH1568 saidH559 unto him, Art thou an EphraimiteH673? If he saidH559, Nay;
6Then saidH559 they unto him, SayH559 now ShibbolethH7641: and he saidH559 SibbolethH5451: for he could not frameH3559 to pronounceH1696 it rightH3559. Then they tookH270 him, and slewH7819 him at the passagesH4569 of JordanH3383: and there fellH5307 at that timeH6256 of the EphraimitesH669 fortyH705 and twoH8147 thousandH505.
