Verse 4. And in process of time the children of Ammon made war with Israel. 5. And when the children of Ammon fought with Israel, the Elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob. 6. And they said unto Jephthah, Come and be our Captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon. 7. Jephthah then answered unto the Elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my fathers house? How then come ye unto me now in the time of your tribulation? 8. Then the Elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our Head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. 9. And Jephthah said unto the Elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, if the Lord give them before me, shall I be your head? 10. And the Elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The Lord be witness between us, if we do not according to thy words. 11. Then Jephthah went with the Elders of Gilead, and the people made him Head and Captain over them: And Jephthah rehearsed all his words before the Lord in Mizpeh.
