THE SIXTIETH NINE SERMON ON THE TWELFTH CHAPTER OF THE BOOKE OF IVDGES.
Verse 1. And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went Northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore wentest thou to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will therefore burn thine house upon thee with fire. 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. 3. So when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in mine hands, and went upon the children of Ammon: so the Lord delivered them into mine hands. Wherefore then are ye come upon me now to fight against me? 4. Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are runagates of Ephraim, among the Ephraimites and among the Manassites. 5. Also the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites, and when the Ephraimites that were escaped, said, Let me pass, Then the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he answered, Nay, 6. Then they said unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not so pronounce: then they took him and slew him, at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites, two and forty thousand.
Verse 1. And the men of Ephraim gathered themselues together, and went Northward, and said vnto Iphtah, Wherefore wentest thou to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call vs to goe with thee? we will therefore burne thine house vpon thee with fire. 2. And Iphtah said vnto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon, and when I called you, ye deliuered me not out of their hands. 3. So when I saw that yee deliuered me not, I put my life in mine hands, and went vpon the children of Ammon: so the Lord deliuered them into mine hands. Wherefore then are yee come vpon me now to fight against me? 4. Then Iphtah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are runnagates of Ephraim, among the Ephramites and among the Manassites. 5. Also the Gileadites tooke the passages of Iorden before the Ephramites, and when the Ephramites that were escaped, said, Let me passe, Then the men of Gilead said vnto him, Art thou an Ephramite? If he answered, Nay, 6. Then they said vnto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not so pronounce: then they tooke him and slew him, at the passages of Iorden: and there fell at that time of the Ephramites, two and fortie thousand.
