JUD-12:1 And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together,
and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst
thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not
call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with
fire.
JUD-12:2 And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at
great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you,
ye delivered me not out of their hands.
JUD-12:3 And when I saw that ye delivered [me] not, I put my
life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon,
and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye
come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
JUD-12:4 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead,
and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim,
because they said, Ye Gileadites [are] fugitives of Ephraim
among the Ephraimites, [and] among the Manassites.
JUD-12:5 And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before
the Ephraimites: and it was [so] that when those Ephraimites
which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead
said unto him, [Art] thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
JUD-12:6 Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he
said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce [it] right.
Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and
there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two
thousand.
JUD-12:7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died
Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of
Gilead.
JUD-12:8 And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
JUD-12:9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, [whom] he
sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his
sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
JUD-12:10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.
JUD-12:11 And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and
he judged Israel ten years.
JUD-12:12 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in
Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.
JUD-12:13 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite,
judged Israel.
JUD-12:14 And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on
threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
JUD-12:15 And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and
was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of
the Amalekites.
