Judges 12:4-15

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 fordsH4569 of JordanH3383 before the EphraimitesH669: and it was so, that when those EphraimitesH669 who had escapedH6412 saidH559, Let me go overH5674; that the menH582 of GileadH1568 saidH559 to him, Art thou an EphraimiteH673? If he saidH559, Nay; 6Then saidH559 they to 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 fordsH4569 of JordanH3383: and there fellH5307 at that timeH6256 of the EphraimitesH669 fortyH705 and twoH8147 thousandH505. 7And JephthahH3316 judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 sixH8337 yearsH8141. Then diedH4191 JephthahH3316 the GileaditeH1569, and was buriedH6912 in one of the citiesH5892 of GileadH1568.

8And afterH310 him IbzanH78 of BethlehemH1035 judgedH8199 IsraelH3478. 9And he had thirtyH7970 sonsH1121, and thirtyH7970 daughtersH1323, whom he sentH7971 abroadH2351, and tookH935 in thirtyH7970 daughtersH1323 from abroadH2351 for his sonsH1121. And he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 sevenH7651 yearsH8141. 10Then diedH4191 IbzanH78, and was buriedH6912 at BethlehemH1035. 11And afterH310 him ElonH356, a ZebuloniteH2075, judgedH8199 IsraelH3478; and he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 tenH6235 yearsH8141. 12And ElonH356 the ZebuloniteH2075 diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in AijalonH357 in the countryH776 of ZebulunH2074. 13And afterH310 him AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of HillelH1985, a PirathoniteH6553, judgedH8199 IsraelH3478. 14And he had fortyH705 sonsH1121 and thirtyH7970 grandsonsH1121, that rodeH7392 on seventyH7657 young donkeysH5895: and he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 eightH8083 yearsH8141.1 15And AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of HillelH1985 the PirathoniteH6553 diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in PirathonH6552 in the landH776 of EphraimH669, in the mountH2022 of the AmalekitesH6003.
